Johnny-Sells Salutes Abraham Lincoln!

Honest Abe, the 16th US President freed the slaves, won the Civil War and was from right here in Illinois.
We're proud of our state's favorite son.   But we ran into a harried mom whose kids were driving her crazy on their day off from school.  She said she wished she lived in another state where the kids only got Presidents Day off.
To paraphrase President Lincoln, you can please all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time.
Happy Birthday, Abe!

RIP Jeff Zaslow, author of "The Last Lecture"


Jeff Zaslow was a great guy who used to work here in Chicago at the Sun-Times newspaper.  Janet did public relations for him for several events he sponsored, including "Zazz Bash", a singles charity event that filled about 7 huge night clubs with romance seekers.  He later went on to author several popular books including "The Last Lecture" and "Gabby", about Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. 

Jeff died in a traffic accident in northern Michigan Friday.

Jeff wasn't a pointer.  He was a doer.  He never thought of himself as a celebrity, even though he was.  He just wanted to help people.  Jeff Zaslow was a champ. 

Janet & I offer our sincere condolences to the family.

Salute to Italy!

Johnny-Sells salutes Italy and all things Italian!  


We love Italian stuff.  It's always so stylish and beautifully crafted.  Click here to see Italian items at Johnny-Sells. We have Italian shoes, slacks, even an Italian suit.  Be careful though, these designers make clothes for fashionably thin Italians.  We Americans tend to be larger.  So keep that in mind when buying Italian clothing.
