Coats, pants that is not a law suit. How long has it been since you saw an advertised bargain like that at an Ironton clothing store-not a rummage sale. An "early bird special" at Edelson’s G. W. Birthday sale were two such bargains, both size 42. Early before the store opened two men the same size were standing at the store door. One was accompanied by his teenage son and he had an advantage over the other, the son carried hot coffee from Dave’s Sandwich Shop to keep his pop warm standing in the cool bargain line.
