Home-grown department store is holding its own. Raffle for St. Jude Children’s Hospital, to be held at the Fall 2011 Southern Clothing Market. Pg 5 Pg 15 Provides free websites for patients. Pg 3 Vol. 53 No. 1 January 2011 Where Are They? Fall 2011 Southern Clothing Market Two Past Members Were Found ~ Help Us Find More To Be Held February 5-7 at the Embassy Suites Hotel To keep in touch, we recently contacted one of our past members requesting an update on what he has done since leaving the MACS. Do you remember the “Watergate Hat Man? Well that was Ronnie Winfield, who became a member of the Men’s Apparel Club of the Carolinas, Inc. in the 70’s. He was a hat salesman (obviously) who was given the “Watergate” moniker in his early days, while he worked for Kangol Headwear. Ronnie was a very likeable person, always dressed perfectly, and always wore a hat, whether a Western style or your regular felt hat. He always felt that if you sell it, you should wear it. Maybe some people should take a lesson from Ronnie when it comes to dress habits. Ronnie believed in being involved, because he would become a member of the Board of Directors of the Carolinas MACs and served in 1981 and 1982. He was a caring MAC member who firmly believed in involvement with the association. Back in those early days The Fall 2011 Southern Clothing Market will be held February the 5th, 6th and the 7th at the Embassy Suites Hotel, located at 4800 South Tryon Street at Woodlawn (Billy Graham Parkway) in South Charlotte, North Carolina. From I-77, exit at 6 B and you will see the Embassy on the corner. This begins our 22nd year at the beautiful Embassy Suites Hotel. We think most of you will agree this is the perfect place for our market. The hotel always does such a great job for the exhibitors and retailers. Thanks to the Embassy and their staff for all of their hard work to make our stay so enjoyable. The market will officially open on Saturday February 5th at 9:00 AM and close at 6:00 PM. For the retailer who would like to work earlier or later, the salesmen are always glad to accommodate you. Remember, the registration office in Suite 706, is open on Friday, February 4th for your convenience. Some of our salesmen get early starts on Friday, and even Thursday. Since this is an appointment there were lots of members who cared about the organization, and were involved. Ronnie is still active in politics, as he currently serves as President of the MidAtlantic Men’s and Boys Apparel Club, and I think he is into his 2nd term. He is working Hatco, Stetson and Dobbs Hats and travels North Carolina, Virginia, Washington DC, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey and resides in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The second past member that we spoke with was Fred Bright. Fred served on the Board of Directors as Treasurer in 1977-1978. Fred was a shoe salesman, who went on to become Sales Manager of a large company. He moved around a bit and then when he became a retired citizen, he moved back to Charlotte. After some six months of retirement, he decided that was not for him. He again became a salesman and contacted the MAC office about coming to the February Southern Clothing Market. He will definitely be an asset to the organization. We hope he does come back. market, a number of salesmen check in on Thursday so they can work with those retailers who have stores close to Charlotte and the surrounding area. On Sunday, we again are fortunate to have the “Big Game” on. We will be hosting the Super Bowl XLV game on Sunday evening, starting at 6:00 PM. And, of course we will have for your viewing pleasure, a big screen TV. As usual there will be great food, and drinks to go along with the festivities. The complimentary bar is open from 6:00 until 8:00, with a cash bar beginning at 8:00 PM. It should be a blast! On Monday the market opens at 9:00 and closes at 6:00 PM. On Saturday, Sunday and Monday, we will be serving lunch in the atrium (ground level) for our salesmen and retailers, from 12:00 until 2:00 PM. Retailers, don’t forget to pick up your lunch tickets in Suite 706 when you register. Again, we ask for your cooperation in not bringing children under the age of 12-years. Thank you for your cooperation. Fred Bright at New York Show. Ronnie Winfield, the Watergate Hatman ~ The Charlotte Merchandise Mart, 1987 MAC Market. It’s always nice to keep in touch with former members of the Men’s Apparel Club. If you know the whereabouts of any former member who has been gone 20 years or more, please contact Larry Holland or Dianne Norton so we can print an update on them. The Embassy Suites Hotel is such a pleasant place for the Southern Clothing Market. It’s like being at home. We applaud them for their genuine service and extra special treatment. January 2011 Page 2 Rags to Riches - www.macragstoriches.com President’s Message Dear Mr. Retailer, Welcome to the Fall 2011 Southern Clothing Market. I want to say it is always good to see you here in Charlotte and we look forward to making your trip a pleasant and successful one. It appears that this economy is starting to show signs of life and in talking to my retailers, Christmas Season and the Holidays were better than last year, which is encouraging. We are anticipating a much more productive market in February. We hope your experience here at the show will be a positive one, and if there is anything we can do to make your visit better, please do not hesitate to let us know. In addition, we have plans in place for the upcoming show for a raffle to benefit St. Judes Hospital. We hope you will participate for this needy cause. Good selling and safe travels!! Sincerely, Gary O’Malley Gary O’Malley President Because We Care E DDIE C RABTREE - O N THE MEND - Eddie Crabtree stays in touch with the MAC office, keeping us updated on his health. He recently experienced some serious health problems and had a stay in the hospital (problems generated by dehydration). Eddie recently had to undergo about 10 weeks of rehabilitation. He is out of the hospital and doing much better. Even thought Eddie had been plagued with a knee problem, he has been able to go to a few football games. I’m sure he was attending the East Carolina University games, which is his favorite. ~ NORWOOD LEE PIRKEY, SR - Son of John Fredrick and Elizabeth Alcocke Pirkey, died October 26, 2010. Native of Nash County, combat veteran of WWII of the 101st Airborne and lifelong business man, Norwood was predeceased by his wife, Lynda Viverette Pirkey and his son, John Fredrick, II. Of him “this is what’s left; former wife, Frances Pirkey Wilson; four children: Elizabeth Pirkey of Dallas, TX, Norwood Lee, Jr. of Memphis, TN, Michael and Susan Pirkey of Wilmington, NC and Douglas and Joie Pirkey of Little Chute, WI; seven grandchildren: Liza, Jacob, Paige, Zebulun, Sophie, Elias, and Thomas; and two great grandchildren: Caedin and Patrick. And lastly his dog; Taylor, his beloved “Sheltie.” As an alumnus of Georgia’s Riverside Military Academy, Virginia’s Smithdeal-Massey Business College and Duke University, Norwood was a consummate businessman. Spanning five decades beginning with dry goods wholesale; the NorLee Company, and culminating as an apparel manufacturers’ representative, he was held in the highest regard by competitor and customer alike. A member of the Men’s Apparel Club of the Carolinas for twenty-five years, he served as board member, president, and chairman. His tenure is testament to the respect and confidence he engendered among his peers. Finding retirement unacceptable, he--in his own words--”refired” and worked for several years in the men’s department of JC Penney. A follower of Jesus, Norwood served as volunteer with Hospice, Nash General Day Hospital, and Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church. To many he ministered the companion and lordship of Christ. Norwood Pirkey will be especially remembered for his gentlemanly demeanor and endearing and charming personality. A man who never met a stranger, he was always willing to speak and interact with people he encountered along his way. He would weave a tale better than anyone, captivating his audience with his clever wit. Many of his stories, or “slices of life,” were peppered with signature remarks like “getting old is not the best arrangement.” Norwood and his words of wisdom will linger long in our memory and forever in our hearts. Family, friends and his dog Taylor will miss him sorely. In lieu of flowers, donations are being accepted at Friends of Hospice of Nash General, 2460 Curtis Ellis Drive, Rocky Mount, NC 27804, or Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church, 328 Hammond Street, Rocky Mount, NC 27804. “Vaya condios!” ~ WILLIAM “BILL ” W ALLACE , FROM THE RICHMOND COUNTY DAILY JOURNAL - North Myrtle Beach, SC - William McKinley “Bill” Wallace, Jr, 83, husband of Lucy French Wallace for 63 years, died Sunday, January 30, 2011, at NHC Healthcare in Murrells Inlet, SC. Mr. Wallace was born January 30, 1927 in East Rockingham, a son of the late William McKinley Sr. and Lillie Edwards Wallace. Mr. Wallace was the owner of B. Wallace & Company of Myrtle Beach and the Grand Strand and formerly owned Bill Wallace, Inc. in Rockingham. He was affectionately knows as “Bill Jr.” and “Daddy Bill.” Survivors including his wife are three sons, William Edwards Blain-Wallace of Lewiston, Maine, Cameron McCrea Wallace of Charlotte and Hugh Jefferson Wallace of Surfside Beach, SC; one daughter, Lucy Wallace Oakes of N. Myrtle Beach, SC; ten grandchildren, and six greatchildren. Larry D. Holland, MAC Executive Director stated, “Bill Wallace was a ‘no nonsense’ type person, with a booming voice. He attended the apparel markets in Charlotte for many years. He always had something funny to tell you, and he was a jokester. You could not always tell if he was serious or just joking. I had the pleasure of visiting several of his stores in the Myrtle Beach area, and doing interviews for the “Rags to Riches.” Older issues will soon be published on line. ~ MAURICE GOLDSTEIN PASSES AWAY -On December 15, 2010. Maurice Goldstein of Boca Raton, Florida passed away after a battle with pancreatic cancer. He was the beloved husband of the late Sylvia Helen Peltz Golsdstein; devoted father of Burton Goldstein and Maxine Goldstein. Also, survived by four loving grandchildren, Jeffrey, Neal, Heather and Tiffany, and five great-grandchildren. Funeral services were held on Sunday December 19th, 2010 at Washington Hebrew Congregation in Washington, DC. Interment followed at King David Memorial Garden, Falls Church, VA. Family received friends immediately following interment at the Lakelands Community Clubhouse in Gaithersburg, MD. Memorials may be made to the charity of your choice. Maurice “Waxy” Goldstein became a member of the Men’s Apparel Club of the Carolinas, Inc. in November 1968 and remained as a dedicated MACS until the 90’s. He traveled the Southeast as a shoe salesman. He also owned retail shoe stores in the north. Waxy was always the “Dapper Dan,” dressed to the hilt, and was known to some as “The Colonel.” I believe that title came from his hair and beard. Larry D. Holland stated, “I miss him even today, as he was always at the market when the doors were opened. Usually one of the first each morning to enter the market.” We would like to thank everyone who has contributed to our “Care” section of the Rags to Riches. This has helped keep all of our retailers and members aware of the concerns . Please continue to contact us with news you would like to share.

CHARLOTTE MACMARKET SHOW DATES TO BE ANNOUNCED LATER January 2011 Page 3 Rags to Riches - www.macragstoriches.com Send messages of encouragement to Butch and his wife Vicki. They would love to hear from you. http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/butchstone Butch Stone A member of the Poor Souls Singing Group performed for the MACS at many of our events. “Butch recently went through a bone marrow transplant, and is struggling from day to day, but is slowly progressing. He was very lucky to find a donor several months ago. The following is a typical day in the life of Butch Stone, provided to us through his Caringbridge Website.” BUTCH - Vicki was so right in her last journal when she said that our “normal” routine is kind of boring. The reality of recovery from a bone marrow transplant is it takes lots and lots of “time.” Besides the obvious of taking your medications regularly, getting plenty of rest and exercise, staying away from total healing of your body and building of a brand new immune system is just plain old time, waiting it out. Days and weeks slowly drag by and you may not see any improvement. And some days you feel that you may actually be getting worse. Recovery is definitely one small baby step at a time, one small victory so minute that you may even fail to realize it. You have to accept the fact that this is just the way it is and that God, along with your body, is running the show and you are on His time. It gets difficult sometimes because I am so ready to get back into living my life. I know it will happen and I know God is giving me an advanced course on patience, faith and obedience. I am very, very thankful that I was able to have this procedure and realize that it more than probably has saved my life. I am so thankful that I was led to Duke University Medical and specifically to the team of incredible doctors, nurses, PAs, etc. that took such good care of me. I am also thankful that I was provided the means to have such a major procedure and most of all that I have such a wonderful wife that has stood by me (and still does) throughout this entire ordeal. I have been truly blessed more than I can even believe and I wonder what I ever did to deserve it. I truly believe that this is part of God’s plan for me and that He must have something else in store for my life. I just have to be patient and wait this thing out until full recovery is accomplished. I have faith that it will if I just keep doing the right things and believe. The major set back to my recovery now is still the GvH disease; however, in the past few days there are definite signs that it is slowly getting better. I feel that the GvH is inhibiting my white blood cell production and suppressing my appetite. I think that once the GvH is gone, my recovery will accelerate significantly. Hope so anyway! Well, I hope our journals are not getting too boring, but there is just not a lot to report at this time. It is just a matter of hoping, praying and waiting. One exciting thing to report is that I believe the new Poor Souls CD should be released within a couple of weeks. I’ll keep you posted. Thank you all again for all your messages, cards, emails, and of course all your prayers. I know for a fact they have played a major role in my success thus far. Much love to you all, Butch After the death of Bobby Smith in 2009, Butch Stone and Roger Smith are carrying on the great Poor Souls name and tradition. “We know we cannot forget the past, but also we know that the show must go on! You ain’t seen nothing yet!” The Poor Souls have been in the studio for much of 2010 working on new material to be released soon! It’s almost here!!! Please stay tuned to thepoorsouls.net for updated information regarding the upcoming CD release. “This new release will be history making for the Poor Souls. We can’t give you all the details right now, but you will be amazed at what we are putting together for you!!

Making the Skies a Bit Friendlier by Mitch Albom, Published in the Charlotte Observer, February 13, 2011 “No Rowdy kids, no bare feet, no smelly food. That’s all I ask.” H And if you fall asleep, try not to do so on the person next to you. So there you go. With a little cooperation, we can all have a better year as passengers, even if the airlines think we’re cattle. Thank you for your attention. And now, as the captain says, “sit back, relax, and strip to your underwear.” ELLO, THIS IS YOUR captain speaking. Okay, I lied. I don’t sit in the cockpit. I sit where you sit. And I fly a lot (over 100,000 miles a year). So I would like to suggest ways the airlines could treat us better this year. But why bother? Any business that will soon be charging you and me to open the bathroom door isn’t keen on hearing from either of us. The airlines stopped listening about the time they began selling pillows. So perhaps we could speak to one another as fellow travelers. Because even if the airlines torture us until we’d rather ride on the back of a filthy hay wagon, we don’t have to follow suite, do we? Here are a few gentle suggestions: First, when you get on the plane, walk down the aisle with your carry-on luggage in front of you, not behind you. Behind you, you knock over drinks, bags, and small elderly people. And when you finally sit down, think before you slam your seat back into the person behind you. Breaking kneecaps is for gangster movies. Feet. As in bare feet. Don’t do it. Maybe at home you like to rip off your socks and plant your naked toes wherever you like, but not on a plane, Okay?

Breaking kneecaps is for gangsters only.” a nail salon. I recently sat next to a woman who stuck her bare, sweaty feet on the cabin wall! Please. Unless you’re SpiderMan and about to walk upside down, keep the shoes on, all right? It’s smelly enough in the cabin. Which brings us to food. Yes, I know you’re lucky to get a Cornflake on an airplane today, but if you must bring food on board, consider the odor. Fried onions will not stop smelling at 23D. Kids. Let’s talk about kids. Kids love airplanes. Many can’t believe they have a seat in front of them they can kick all flight long, while Mom and Dad watch the movie. Please. Tell them to stop. And if you’ve got a crying baby-and we all love babies-at least pretend you’re trying to keep him quiet. Don’t hide behind a US Weekly. Also, once your kids stop crying, the plane should not hear from them again until they are old enough to be-and actually arethe pilots. I recently had a little boy behind me who all flight long kept singing, at the top of his lungs, “Go-Go-Go...the cat in the hat!” I don’t know this song, but I do know his mom did nothing except occasionally whisper, “Jacob, keep it down,” which had the same effect as pressing the Volume-Up button. Speaking of volume. If you need to use your cell phone on the tarmac, please remember there are people inches away from you. They don’t really want to hear about Uncle Seymour’s kidney problem.

By Michael Futch, Staff writer The Fayetteville Observer ELIZABETHTOWNLeinwand’s clothing store, a downtown landmark in the Bladen County seat, dates back to a time when Jewish merchants started to settle in small towns of North Carolina. In Fayetteville, Fleishman’s prospered on the Market House square. Whiteville had Kramers and Leder Brothers was a longtime shopping destination in Clinton. Those retail stores are now memories. But Leinwand’s, celebrating 75 years in business, remains a mainstay on E l i z a b e t h t o w n ’s b u s y B r o a d Street. “This community has been very good to us, and we’re very thankful,” said Ricky Leinwand, 58, the third generation of the family to own and operate the store. Ricky and his wife, Eileen, Messages from Leinwald’s MAC Vendors “Southern Clothing Market” carry on the business that his Austrian-born grandfather, Isaac Leinwand, founded in the 1930s after immigrating to America nearly three decades before. A former peddler in Charleston, SC, Isaac Leinwand opened a business in Branchville, SC. But in 1934, that town’s banks went bankrupt as the Great Depression swept the nation. “My great-uncles set my grandfather up in Elizabethtown,” Ricky Leinwand said. “He came here in 1935. He spoke English, but he had a thick accent. He was the only Jewish person in town, but he was accepted.” After four expansions, Leinwand’s still operated in its original location. I n i t i a l l y, i t w a s a d r y goods store catering to the local farmers. The store sold clothing, shoes, fabric and tobacco canvas. Four years after it opened, the business burned down in a 1939 fire that destroyed about half a block. “It’s a miracle how this store has survived so many tragedies,” said Ricky Ricky Leinwand talks with a customer at Leinwand’s department store in Elizabethtown. The store is celebrating 75 years in business. Leinwand. “The Great Depression. The fire. Somehow my grandfather had the notion to get back up and make a good business.” In 1947, Isaac’s only child, Wallace, became a part owner and started managing the store. Wallace is a former mayor of Elizabethtown. Rick “Ricky Leinwand is a gentleman par excellence, who has a great love for the business. He is one of the best retailers and has been able to adjust to changes in the industry in a positive manner. I can stand corrected, but I am sure that I overheard some concersation there at one time, his grandfather worked for M. Dumas years ago.” (David Dumas now runs M. Dumas in Charleston, SC). - Joe Overfelt Leinwand now serves on the Town Council. Rick’s 86-year-old mother still comes in 2 1/2 hours a day to write checks and handle payroll. “She’s been the glue to this operation,” her son said. The family-run store has been able to compete with supersized Walmart and Target stores. “I have had the honor and pleasure of knowing Ricky Leinwand for over 15 years, and must say he is one of the finest southern gentlemen in the business. He has a dynamic personality and I don’t know anyone that works harder at his craft than he does. I’ve seen him in action in his store and he does it all. He is driven to give his customers the best service possible and help his fellow man. He is a very kind man who genuinely cares about people. He has a strong work ethics and comes from fine stock and a great family. He makes his alma mater, UNC Tarheels, proud and is a great Tar Heel fan. Ricky is a wonderful family man and I know they are very proud of him. His Father, Wallace, I know is especially proud of the way Ricky has taken over the reigns of the business, continuing the family tradition and legacy. Thank you Ricky for being a friend and loyal customer at our show. Congratulations on your store’s 75th Anniversary!” -Randy Campbell “We know how to change with the times,” Ricky Leinwand said. “Sometimes we make mistakes, but we listen to our customers. We’ve always had personal service. Great service, great merchandise and great p r i c e s - i t ’s a h e c k o f a combination.” I have had the pleasure of knowing Ricky Leinwand for over 30 years and I can tell you, he is the epitomy of knowledge and insight in the apparel retail business!! I have had the pleasure, also, of knowing and working with Wallace Leinwand, Ricky’s father, until his reitrment. A great family-run mens and ladies clothing store that is very involved in the Elizabethtown community. Ricky has involved himself in the workings of the city, and, of course, is an avid Tarheel fan. Going into the store you will see many photos of ACC coaches, players and personalities, who have met, known, and become friends with Ricky, and that is how he does his business. There are no strangers at Leinwands and as far as the business is concerned, Ricky has the ability to be ahead of fashion trends, knows when to hold them and when to fold them and as far as I am concerned Ricky and Leinwands are one of the best operations in eastern NC. Thank you Ricky for your involvment and we sincerely appreciate your continued support and attendance at our shows.
