This 1960s bucket-style corduroy hat comes from Hunt’s Department Store.

Fred Hunt established clothing stores in Fayetteville and Rogers in the 1940s, with a Springdale location coming later.

Hunt’s flagship store in Fayetteville expanded in 1964, opening a second location, both on the Fayetteville Square. Hunt’s on the north side of the square specialized in clothing for women and children, while Hunt’s on the east side of the square focused on men’s clothing.

By 1980, Fred Hunt had retired from the retail business. He died in 1995.

In the late 1800s and early 1900s folding fans were popular accessories for women. Retail ads called them “a warm-weather necessity.” Brisé is French for “broken,” which refers to the fan blades that overlap and are held together with a ribbon attached to each blade tip and a rivet at the base.
