JoS. A. Bank & CML group edit

I believe that at one point in its corporate trajectory about 1990 JoS. A. Bank was part of the CML Group conglomerate until it collapsed, but can't find any references at the moment — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mjmarcus (talkcontribs) 19:14, 14 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

I can not find a solid ref so I did not add the text. Geraldshields11 (talk) 20:52, 12 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

The name of the company edit

The sign on the front of the stores may appear to be "JoS. A. BANK", but the website gives the name as "Jos. A. Bank." Suggestion: Change the name of this article to Jos. A. Bank Clothiers (the "S" not capitalized) to match the name of the company. Jim (talk) 06:21, 10 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

spelling edit

throughout the article the company name is spelt 'JoS. A. Bank' except the paragraph beginning 'In 1981' where its second occurence is 'JoS. a Bank' Potholehotline (talk) 23:26, 14 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Why do we cap the "S"? The company's website uses the spelling "Jos. A. Bank". —C.Fred (talk) 17:55, 17 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
My money is on historical inertia: editors years ago apparently mistook typography for spelling. I have fixed the spelling in the title, and moved it to its most widely used name per WP:COMMONNAME. --Animalparty! (talk) 17:52, 8 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
