Thanks Tony, I'll do my best.

Now I've heard of all kinds of men's suits, but I never heard of the one this 
guy mentioned below. I do have a Hart Schaffner & Marx which has the silk 
drawers, and the patch with the guy blowing a bugle on a horse. For a hick, I 
do know how to dress, and know how to spell the names of the ones I wear. I 
thought the Marks Brothers was a comedy team? Anyhow, enough on this. I just 
feel sorry for our members who do live in Mississippi in that they had to see 
this.

I quote;

"You could wear a Hartschatner and Marks Brothers suit and you'd be considered 
a slouch as soon as you opened your mouth"

Best,

Will
