And if I'm not mistaken the awning on the middle shop on the left reads "Knox (or is it 'Knox's?) Hats"

I ran across a photo of the Dobbs & Co. store at 242 Fifth Avenue, taken shortly after they opened in September 1908. Dobbs & Co. was the retailing company set up by Crofut & Knapp that would be selling the new Dobbs brand of hats, but was completely separate from the hat manufacturing. Notice by the caption that when they first opened, they were known for Knapp-Felt Hats, since the Dobbs brand was new and unknown to the public at this time.
Look at all those soft felt hats in the display window on the right.
The original Dobbs & Co logo clearly shows the relationship of C&K to Dobbs, as the hats were retailed through the "The Knapp-Felt Shops."

Here is an ad from December 8, 1928, for the Dobbs & Co. stores. Notice that by this time they are essentially a department store. They will continue as such until their bankruptcy in 1931. They have the same departments for women, as well. I'll have to post one of those ads soon.
