Today's Random Fact:

Levi Strauss arrived in California during the Gold Rush
trying to sell canvas tents to miners. However, he soon
learned that what the prospectors needed most was pants, and so he turned his tent business into a pants business; eventually using imported denim in place of canvas.



Bonus Fact:

In 2005, an orignal pair of Levi's--aged more than 115
years--were sold to a collector for $60,000.
