DEAR SUN SPOTS: Come join the Rumford Senior Citizens Group for a senior trip to Branson, Missouri, on Sept. 19-29. The trip includes 11 days, 10 nights, 18 meals, two casino visits and museums.

A two-person room is $1,389 and a one-person room is $1,768, plus tips. Sign up by July 8. For more information, contact me at 597-2823. — Cheryl, no town

ANSWER: This sounds fun! I have a friend who goes on these trips and she really enjoys them. Traveling can really change a person’s perspective on life.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I’m trying to find a store that sells the David Taylor line of men’s clothing. I used to buy men’s jeans at Sears, but of course they are closed now. Perhaps a reader knows of another source for this line of clothing.

Also, do you know of any place where I can have address labels made? I used to see all kinds of advertisements in magazines, but there aren’t many magazines anymore either, thanks to technology. — No name, no town

ANSWER: Isn’t it frustrating when you find something you like and then it disappears? I miss Sears, too. I have discovered that some clothing that I used to be able to get at that great store is available on eBay. I found this site for you: https://www.ebay.com/b/David-Taylor-Clothing-for-Men/1059/bn_698786 . The items seen here are reasonably priced but the shipping is a bit expensive.

Another company that sells gently worn David Taylor clothing is Poshmark. I haven’t had any experience directly with this company but my sister-in-law uses them frequently for both buying and selling clothing with good results. I found a link here: https://poshmark.com/brand/David_Taylor?srsltid=AfmBOorLT6nTT3kC_QXQJ8Yj8rjnnYtuY2mtlO0LxTMMzDLfLznb-Hq9 .

When I was researching this for you, I saw that Amazon and Walmart sell David Taylor clothing but when I looked further, items were out of stock and I was referred to clothing that has the same look but it’s a different brand.

Readers, if you have any suggestions about this, please write.

As far as address labels go, this question was asked recently and I encouraged the reader who asked to simply write her return address on the envelopes.

If you have a printer, you can also buy the special marked adhesive paper and make them yourself.

Or you can order the labels from Staples where they are between $15 and $20 for a sheet of 250.

Amazon has many affordable choices and so does the good old standby stationery company, Current (https://www.currentcatalog.com/ ). There are dozens of choices with lovely designs that cost under $10 for 250 labels, without shipping and tax.

Alternatively, you can purchase a pre-designed, self-inking return address stamp from Current for under $20. These can be used for a very long time before they run out of ink.
