    Hat Trick: Aristos Douskos says that as far as he knows, he's the only person in Ontario still making fur hats. His workship, reminiscent of old St. Petersburg, is on Spadina Ave.

    Showing how his wares work - almost all at the same time - is Ballon King Otto Bishof. He estimates he'll sell about 50,000 balloons and about 30,000 party hats, horns, noise-makers, bells and whistles to bring in the New Year. After 11 years in the business, he says he still has a lot of fun. Bischof also rents out canisters of helium gas to fill balloons, and he and staff also decorate some hotels for the festivities.
