Dear Friends, 
As you are probably aware, we experienced a devastating fire on February 8th. The good news is no one was hurt, and everything else is replaceable. Everything was lost, mostly to smoke damage. We plan to be up and running with totally new inventory in our Hanover Square location within the next few months. 

In the meantime, we have a temporary store on the first floor of the State Tower Building adjacent to Solvay Bank. We will be able to assist our clients with clothing ordered from our regular suppliers.Your business is more important to us than ever, and we will do anything we can to continue to assist with your menswear needs. 

A big “Thank You” is in order to all those who have been so supportive at this difficult time. Clients, businessmen, retailers, vendors, friends and family have all offered or supplied assistance. A special word of thanks to the Syracuse Police and Fire Departments for the rapid response and minimally intrusive manner in which they handled the fire, and the extremely high level of professionalism they exhibited. 

For those who had garments in the fire, we are working through a list of lost items, now. If we have not been in touch with you, give us a call. Our old phone number (below) rings in our temporary store. 

As a special courtesy to our clients, we offer FREE VALET PARKING in the State Tower Parking Garage. Enter the State Tower Lobby directly from the garage, turn left at the news stand, and we are the first door on the right. Just ask us for a coupon for your free parking. 

Call for an appointment. Your continued efforts and support on our behalf are sincerely appreciated. 
Sincerely, 

Charlie & Ed 

Temporary address: State Tower Building 109 South Warren St, Suite 5 Syracuse, NY 13202 (315) 471-7410
