For several months, Lincoln ran a small store in New Salem, selling

tea, coffee, sugar, salt, blue calico, brown muslin, straw hats and whiskey.[11] Later, he found work as village postmaster and as a surveyor.

I think you are thinking of Harry Truman who was a partner in the ownership of a haberdashery in Missouri. This type of shop sells all types of menswear other than suits and includs, of course, hats.
