It's a Big "Story" how we came to get so many shirts to sell at such prices how three MEIER & FRANK executives went east to buy the shirts how they visited leading factories picked their quotas closed the deal. But it's more important for you to know that the best shirt sale in our 62 years' history is now knocking on your doors.
