I was researching the name John Shillito, trying to help elvenom with her red cashmere coat. I found this page of a newspaper (1880's) and I never did find the “Shillito” reference, but I thought these pieces from that page were interesting. What is an ulsterette?

I had to look it up - an ulsterette is a small ulster.

Hope that helps!

I looked up Shillito's last night. My grandparents lived in Cincinnatti and I remember going to that store when I was little.

Here's an article I found:

I figured it must have something to do with Ireland!
That is an interesting tidbit unearthed, Amanda.
