Although his brother showed so dim a glimmering of interest in their altered fortunes that it was very doubtful whether he understood them, Mr Dorrit caused him to be measured for new raiment by the hosiers, tailors, hatters, and bootmakers whom he called in for himself; and ordered that his old clothes should be taken from him and burned.
There are even some hatters who sell hunting-caps ready shot, torn, and perforated for the bad shots; but the only buyer known is the chemist Bezuquet. This is dishonourable! As a marksman at caps, Tartarin of Tarascon never had his match. Every Sunday morning out he would march in a new cap, and back he would strut every Sunday evening with a mere thing of shreds.

The Newton settlers were Quakers of the English middle class, weavers, tanners, carpenters, bricklayers, chandlers, blacksmiths, coopers, bakers, haberdashers, hatters, and linen drapers, most of them possessed of property in England and bringing good supplies with them. Like all the rest of the New Jersey settlers they were in no sense adventurers, gold seekers, cavaliers, or desperadoes.
Other important and necessary industries the hatters, the shoemakers, the shirtmakers, the cravatters, the hosiers, even the makers of underwear hurried out of hiding; and soon, whoever had eyes to look could study that handsome, snappy young fellow in every stage of costume, for the soap-makers also saw their opportunity, from the bath up.

Soon workmen's associations and artisans' clubs appeared wherever there was a sufficient number of Jewish tailors, hatters, bookbinders, etc., for the purpose of increasing and improving the value of their production, and to do away with middlemen and money-lenders.
