James S. Lee & Co. Chinese Tailors 
Did you know someone who did not get something custom-tailored at one of Lee's on-base concession shops?  Most high school boys got their first suit/tuxedo here. Affordable luxury.
 
Looks real, huh? Even down to the white gloves. This is a mechanical man advising motorists to slow down. Quite a change from the old days of having three people doing this job. An economy in trouble. Hope it's better.
