I know nothing about name brand clothing prices, Marie.  I wear 30 dollar 
khaki's and a thirty dollar shirt on the rare occasion I must wear long 
pants.  

I buy most of my clothes through mail-order.  I have been in only one 
clothing store (Eddie Bauer) in the past, oh I can't remeber, maybe 10 years. 

 People with no ties to the sweat that went into earning the money can spend 
it fast, though .....bobford
