Personal touch keeps this Iowa City landmark store in business
Ewers Men's Store has been helping UI students, faculty, staff, and the local community look their best for more than a century, with its precursor general goods store opening in 1868. Learn about it's history and how it's survived under owner Bob Noser (BBA79).
