Alexander's, closed in Cross Creek Mall in January 2015. Ed Fleishman's Fine Men's Clothing Shop was an icon to young men in the early 60s and 70s in Fayetteville. It was the post Kennedy administration and a very preppy style was adopted by many young Americans. ey started a young men's shop upstairs in the downtown store and hired several young men to work there, one was Buck Scott (see side bar). Buck, now 70 and retired as a phar- maceutical executive in Atlanta stated, "e life lessons I received working for the Fleishman's cannot be measured, I learned how to dress, how to make a first impression and what success looked like." Many young men learned business acumen under the Fleishman brothers by working at the store. Ben Hailey, age 72, graduated from East Carolina and is now in Jackson, Mississippi working for Herend Silverware. He started working there when he was 14-years-old. He said, "e Fleishman's taught him respon- sibility and matured him as a young man." His father had died the year be- fore he started working at Ed's. When I was in high school all my friends had to have clothes from either Ed Fleishman or Leon Sugars. If you didn't have a Gant shirt, khaki pants and a pair of weejuns you were out of it. All were available at Fleishman's or Sugar's. Ed had four sons Herman (Sandy), Harvey, James (Jimmy) and Joel. Har- vey and Jimmy also ran retain clothing shops at the mall in later years. Sandy died in 1991 and has two sons. Harvey did not have children, but Jimmy had two sons, Todd and Scott. Scott and Todd were friends with my two sons Bob and Hughes. Scott and Bob played on the Fayetteville Academy Basketball team together and we saw a lot of the Fleishman's in those days. Scott died in a motorcycle accident in 2005. ey also had a brother Joel that was the manager on the 1957 UNC Championship bas- ketball team and a graduate at Caro- lina. He founded a men's clothing store in Greensboro. He died in 2012. He has two successful children. eir mother Linda is the daughter to a former prom- Follow us on Facebook (facebook.com/cityviewnc), Twitter #cityviewnc, and Instagram @cityviewnc CityView
