Moore-Taggart Leather Cover

Moore-Taggart Leather Cover possibly for a feather bonnet. By 1869, Moore, Taggart & Company were established as general drapers and outfitters in Glasgow, Scotland. By the early twentieth century they were acting as warehousemen, military and railway clothing contractors and overall manufacturers with premises at Tontine House, Cross, 34-54 Trongate and 2-18 Albion Street, Glasgow. Moore, Taggart & Co built their business by offering customers consistent good value for money rather than by discounting goods or by holding sales. Within a few years the company had leased the whole of the former Tontine Hotel. The warehouse was gutted by fire in 1911. In the late 1920s they concentrated on overall manufacture and military and railway clothing. The company appears to have ceased trading in 1977.
