And they are the highest grade of prime. Morton's has never compromised quality.

If a cartoonist isn't good enough to make it on his own work, he has no business being in the newspaper.

That chemistry can come into it. If you know one guy is there to make the tackle, then you can say, 'I know my buddy's got the tackle, now I can try to strip the ball out.'

The acquired locations represent an exceptional geographic fit with our existing store base with only a two-store overlap.

We expect to realize operating synergies as these stores are converted to Peebles stores, incorporated into our existing distribution system and managed from our South Hill, Virginia administrative offices.
