You have to come in to buy, but you don't have to buy to come in. Every business has a browsing time and a buying time, and there's a welcome here all day long for the man who is looking around. Just ask to see what we have to show. That's what we're here for! Only thing we have to add is, that we are showing Hickey-Freeman Clothes, as usual-and as usual, they are better than usual!
