Gratacap, the man who made all the caps for the fire-laddies in town, and a good many of the fire-laddies in other towns. In his palmy days Mr. Gratacap had two stores, one on Broadway and one on Grand street, but the Grand street store was the boss of the two. Gratacap made fireman&#8217;s hats for over thirty years, and sometimes he turned out at the Grand street store over a hundred caps in a week. One would hardly believe now the amount of money that was sometimes spent, and spent proudly and gladly, on a fireman&#8217;s hat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"362\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Gratacaphelmet.jpg?resize=512%2C362&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Gratacaphelmet.jpg?w=512&amp;ssl=1 512w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Gratacaphelmet.jpg?resize=300%2C212&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Gratacap hat<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Over one thousand dollars have been planked down for one show fireman&#8217;s hat. Once $1,350 was paid for an elegant affair of this kind, mounted in gold and silver. This was for a New York fire laddie who had gone to California in \u201849, got rich in minin\u2019, and got to be chief of the fire department in \u2018Frisco. Ball &amp; Black, then the leadin\u2019 jewelers of New York, did the mountin\u2019 of this extraordinary hat. It had one hundred and eighty divisions, or \u201ccones,\u201d as they were called. The fireman&#8217;s hats abounded in these \u201ccones,\u201d the most ordinary hat had from four to eight, some had thirty or forty.

Then he made a specialty of \u201cpresentation fronts\u201d for hats, which cost anywheres from ten to fifty dollars, accordin\u2019 to the popularity of the man \u201cpresented\u201d or the funds of the company \u201cpresentin\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Gratacap had the advantage of comin\u2019 after old Matt Du Bois, who was the first man to make firemen\u2019s hats a specialty. Matt had a shop on old Anthony street, where he made caps with iron rims. A man called Baudoine also made fireman&#8217;s hats till he drew $25,000 in a lottery. Then he got too big to make any more hats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; There were three points in a fireman&#8217;s rig that were quite characteristic\u2013the hat, the red shirt and the suspenders or gallowses [galluses], as they were called.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Old Engine Company 5 was the first company to introduce the red shirt. It was thought a tremendous, big and startlin\u2019 \u201cinnovation\u201d in its day, and Engine Company 5\u2019s boys were as proud of their red shirts as a turkey-cock in a barnyard. Company 5 was one of the crack companies of its period, and claimed to dress for a fire in quicker time than any other company in the department. One of the boys averred that on one occasion he had got out of bed, at an alarm of fire given by the old jail bell, had thrown his boots out of the window, and had then dressed and got down stairs in time to catch his boots before they touched the sidewalk!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Anyway it was really astonishin\u2019 how quick the boys could, and did, \u201cdress\u201d for a fire alarm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Ex-Mayor Wickham, who was an enthusiastic fireman, said that he or any good old fire laddie could dress in just three motions, when \u201cbunkin\u2019\u201d in the engine house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"336\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Wickham_William_H.png?resize=336%2C315&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1454\" style=\"width:242px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Wickham_William_H.png?w=336&amp;ssl=1 336w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Wickham_William_H.png?resize=300%2C281&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 336px) 100vw, 336px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">William H. Wickham<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; He used to lay down with his boots at the foot of his bed, and his trousers wrapped loosely round his top-boots. When woke by an alarm, his first motion was to put on his boots, his second motion was to draw up the trousers from where they were wrapped up round the boots, and his third and last motion was to fasten his pantaloons round his waist. Then he was all ready to run. Gildersleeve, Wickham and others have practically Illustrated this style of dressin\u2019 made speedy in three motions, hundreds of times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The suspenders or gallowses were also characteristic parts of a fireman&#8217;s rig, though in course of time the regular fireman dropped wearing \u2018em and left \u2018em to the followers or hangers-on of the engine companies and the boys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The gallowses were united at the back by a leather clasp, or shield, with the number of the wearer\u2019s engine or hose Company on it. Some pairs were very handsome and costly. Brokaw, the tailor, paid $17 for one pair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; These gallowses, with their numbers on the back, used to serve as \u201cbadges\u201d to their wearers to prove that they belonged to such and such a company. It thus got \u2018em out of scrapes occasionally, but it sometimes got \u2018em into \u2018em.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The old chief of the Volunteer Fire Department, Gulick, when a youngster, once found himself in the midst of a company bitterly hostile to the one he ran with. He tried to wiggle out of the uncongenial crowd, and was on the point of bein\u2019 successful. He was just on the outskirts of the hostile company when a boy who knew him, saw him. The boy pointed Gulick out as one of the other company\u2019s fellers. A push was made on him and Gulick was caught. He came near denyin\u2019 his company in the excitement of the minute, but to a fire laddie, even to a fire lad, the goin\u2019 back on one&#8217;s company was like goin\u2019 back on one&#8217;s mother, or one&#8217;s religion. So he simply held his tongue and looked his indignation at the charge he could not deny. Indirectly and by pantomime, at least, he denied the charge against him, but his suspenders proved too much.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"748\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Gulick_James.jpg?resize=640%2C748&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1452\" style=\"width:250px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Gulick_James.jpg?w=700&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Gulick_James.jpg?resize=257%2C300&amp;ssl=1 257w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">James Gulick<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Seizing him by the back, despite his struggles, the crowd pulled up young Gulick&#8217;s coat, and there on the middle of his back was revealed indisputable evidence.
