The Jackoway and Katz Cap Company was
established at 1231 Washington Street,
in St. Louis MO, sometime around 1919.
The company manufactured "Triangle
Caps," a line of hats and caps for men,
boys, and children. It was very common
for a haberdashery to give away a Free
baseball bat, or mitt with the purchase
of a boys suit. This "Boys" canvas
baseball mitt might have been part of
such a premium during the 1920s.
The Logo pictured above features a Triangle In the center, which was
patented by Jackoway and Katz Cap Co.
in 1919. The top reads "Triangle Caps"
the bottom "Jackoway-Katz"
Worthy of note: Many companies produced
athletic goods such as baseball bats or
gloves which was outside their standard
production line to add extra income, to
make up for the poor economy, brought
on by the Great Depression of the
1930s. Woodworking shops, would produce
baseball bats. Businesses that made
leather goods or textile made baseball
gloves.
