History
ACCORDING TO DONOR TIM MYERS, RENO LIZZY OPENED A LETHBRIDGE CLOTHING STORE WHILE IN HIS 20S CALLED “RENO’S HABERDASHERY”. MYERS BELIEVES HE BOUGHT THE SHORT-LIVED, FAD PANTS (DRESS STYLE) FROM THE HABERDASHERY WITH MONEY HE EARNED IN THE SUMMER WORKING FOR AGT (HE DUG TRENCHES FOR TELEPHONE CABLE). HIS MOTHER, HE SAID, WOULD NOT ENTERTAIN SUCH PURCHASES DUE TO THE PANTS “COST AND STYLE”. RENO’S PANTS (SEE P20080034003), HE SAID, WERE THE DRESSIER VERSION OF THE TWO (SEE P20080034002), WORN ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHTS TO ATTEND EVENTS INCLUDING “Y” DANCES.
