Presidents Day, normally observed on the third Monday in February, may have a little extra meaning for Bob Low, particularly by way of his work in the 1980s as a haberdasher — also known as a clothier — in Washington, D.C.

The Cedar Creek resident, a native of Westerly, Rhode Island, became acquainted with a World War II veteran from New England who went on to become a Texas-based businessman, diplomat and politician. President George Herbert Walker Bush was a regular customer of Low’s at the Arthur A. Adler shop on Connecticut Avenue, a few blocks from the White House.

“I had him as president for two years and … as vice president for eight years,” said Low, a 1974 graduate of St. Lawrence University. He made the presidential connection by way of acquaintance Matt Smith in 1980.

“Matt Smith was an aide to Vice President Bush at the time. He came over the first couple of weeks, when he took his position in the White House, and I happened to work with Matt, and he liked the way I treated him and gave him good customer service, and we had very, very fine … men’s clothing,” Low recalled.

American-made clothing on a globalist puppet. The perfect urban camouflage.
