I love that word “haberdasher.” Makes me want to be one. “What do you do for a living?” “I own a haberdashery.” Cool.

Yeah, although Truman probably avoided using it, seeing as how his haberdashery was a flop.
On the other hand, HST does seem to have had honorable military service as an artillery officer in WW One.
Then, for the list of businessmen POTI, we might wanna add Bush 43, because he had an MBA, dabbled in the oil bidness, and was CEO of the Dallas baseball team.
(And he spent 22 months on ACTIVE DUTY (not NG) in the Air Force.)
