 Davis Hat Co., Dallas, Texas," and "Styled by Davis Hats, Dallas, Texas." The full name of the company was S.G. Davis Hat Company, which functioned as a wholesale hat dealer in Dallas from 1900-1928, founded by--you guessed it--S.G. Davis. The company built a grand warehouse building just south of downtown Dallas, then the garment district, in 1913; this building was recently renovated. (2007). It's a wonderful period building.

S. G. DAVIS HAT CO. BUILDING, 800 Jackson St. (southeast corner of Jackson and S. Austin), designed by Lang & Witchell. When it was built in 1913 it was advertised as “facing the new Union Depot” (which hadn’t yet been built and was three blocks away). The Davis Hat Company — a manufacturer and wholesaler of men’s hats — was established in Dallas in 1900. This building might be familiar to many people for its “Office Equipment Co. sign painted on the back exterior.
