perhaps our best press has come from you...
we love to hear that people have heard about us
from their friends, and cousins, and co-workers...
their moms, and neighbors, and favorite uncle...
their doctor, other store owners, their barber...
and then there’s bozo, and howdy doody,
and gumby and popeye
and our 6 foot sock monkey
who take turns hanging-out in front of our store
inviting passersby to stop in...
to all, we say “thank you”...
thank you for liking us enough to tell someone else
