"Say, ya' know you clean up real nice!"

Jack Reese had a great sense of humor and was a superb put-down artist. I walked in one day wearing a new Hart, Schaffner, and Marx suit with all new accesories (silk shirt and tie even, and a new pair of Florsheim dress boots). Jack encounters me in the office doorway, stops me and steps back. He looks me over with a look of awe and admiration....turns me around and looks up and down til he has killed enough time to assure a watching audience the says, "Man, I just love those socks."...........and of course it was the one thing you could NOT see.
