Status: Complete
[Guayaguil?] Hats are made of a kind of grass, growing only in Equador-its exportation is prohibited. Cost from 3 or 4 to 50 dollars-
Made also at Piura.
Fine hats can only be worked upon in a particular state of the atmosphere-a few hours each day-straw selected & prepared with great care. One hat occupies months!
