Anyone from the Back of the Yards remember Chuds House of Fashion or Fukas Mens Shop on Ashland Ave? Johnny Chud owned Chuds who was the brother of Walter Chud my dads best friend. Back then in the 50's you could only window shop on Sundays because the stores were closed on Sundays.

There was a store next to Walgreens on 47th s Ashland called National Mens Wear. That was in the 1960's. I remember buying a leather jacket there.

Wasn't Karroll's Red hanger store on 63rd and Kedzie?

I know that every southsider knows this store: Robert Hall off of Archer Ave.. Every time you walk in the salesmen would stick to you like glue.

What about Morris B Sachs?
