On the Road with Men's Clothing

When we heard there was a guy who traveled throughout the Mid-West delivering "off the rack", custom and "made-to-measure" men's clothing we had to meet Tim De Ford.  Tim has been in the clothing business for 38 years and today takes Lord's Clothing on the road to 11 states and to business people who live in isolated locations or simply love the customer service and convenience of this remarkable retail model.  Oh, and Internet? Nope: 515-371-4816 is Tim's cell.Insight on Business the News Hour with Michael Libbie is a production of Insight Advertising, Marketing & Communications a full service advertising agency based in Des Moines and is heard Monday - Friday from 5PM to 6PM on 1350-KRNT, Des Moines.  Connect with us on Twitter @IoB_NewsHour and, for more fun, here is our Facebook Page.
