There was a report on the news day before yesterday that Eddie Bauer is closing 29 retail stores. By the way, Eddie Bauer is owned by Speigel, so there's another company to add to the list.

When I announced on another forum that Sportsmans Guide had closeout deals on Columbia Gallatin Range wool hunting clothes I was informed that Columbia has also supported anti-hunting organizations. Oh well, I already have the Columbia Gallatin Range outfit and I ain't gettin' rid of it. Even at regular price its inexpensive and it works.
