A Classic!


Even though "Honest" Ed Mirvish has passed away, it's good to he his son hasn't done anything to change his flagship store from the way it was 50 years ago.

 It's great when a businessman doesn't take himself, or his business, too seriously.


Not that Ed didn't make a ton of money off immigrant women, all fighting over a pair of two dollar socks;

"Ets a mine!"
"No, ets a mine!"

And, of course, a lot of my pre-work wardrobe was courtesy of Ed.  At least when I could out muscle Helga and Edna.

{Ed note: readers are thinking, why did you add "pre-work"?]
