Howard Phil S Western Wear

Howard & Phil's Western Wear, a once-popular chain of cowboy clothing stores owned by the family of U.S. Rep. Howard P. "Buck" McKeon, headed off into the sunset for good this week, hiring a firm to liquidate its remaining assets and stave off creditors. In order to avoid a second bankruptcy proceeding, the McKeon family heeded the advice of its attorneys this week to close its remaining nine stores and sell its inventory.
