George Zimmer, founder of Men's Wearhouse, is a dem!

[XemaSab]

He's given $286,200 to politicians, of which only $3,500 has gone to republicans. Most of that went to Arlen Specter.

Check it out!

1. Yes. He's also is an open-minded business man who will

ask around for worthy progressive causes/orgs to invest in.

He's one of the good guys.

2. Good to know!

I'm female, so I've never shopped there, but I grew up seeing his ads on TV. :D

3. I guarantee it!

4. Now to check up on Paul from the Diamond Center, Cal Worthington, Smiling Bob and that shouting guy,

whose name I should remember considering how many times I've heard his foghorn of a voice announce himself, oh, and the ShamWow kid.

6. The Oxyclean guy?

With the black beard?

[LeftyMom]

7. That's the one.

I can barely hear and I still think he's too loud.

[krispos42]

8. Ack. I can't think of his name either.

10. This is Billy Mays here for (insert cleaning product here)!

Once you said OxyClean I thought of it.

[krispos42]

13. Yes, that's it!

And he has that orange-based floor-cleaning product now. Oy vey.

5. Mens' Wearhouse is running a suit-recycling program this month. . .

bring a second-hand suit in to the Wearhouse and they'll donate it to a non-profit that gets it into the hands of an unemployed person, so they have a good suit to wear for job interviews. Donors receive a coupon for 10% off their next Men's Wearhouse purchase. Kind of a win-win for all.

www.menswearhouse.com then click on the link for "National Suit Drive."

9. Well I'll be damned. I didn't know that.

I bought a couple of rather nice looking suits from him once long ago. They were quite reasonably priced, too. In fact I still have them, and they even fit again though they didn't for awhile. Personally, I think they still look pretty damn good, but then I always have had taste. B-)

11. Is he that guy who sells the business suites?

I think Ive seen a few commercials with him where he says the Men's Warehouse slogan at the end, I cant remember what it is though. The last part is "I guarantee it" or something?

[No DUplicitous DUpe]

14. "You'll love the way you look - I guarantee it"

I think that's the slogan.

[Joe the Liberal]

15. Cool, next time I buy a suit i'll be sure to buy it from there then.

:patriot:

12. He seems like an old-school Jewish-American businessman like my grandpa

who never would have thought of supporting the idiot Republicans, no matter what they blabbed about taxes or Israel.

[ColoradoMagician]

16. I bought a great contempory tuxedo from them

Great customer service. Good prices.

The tux was only a couple hundred dollars. Basically the price of some of their less expensive suits.

I highly recommend them.

17. This info has come at an opportune time - my hubby needs new

clothes. I'll give Men's Wearhouse my business, happily.

Thanks for the info!
