Not an investment bank, since Lehman —singular[1] — as it once was, doesn’t exist[2].
No, Lehmans is an online hardware shop — online, I say — for people who don’t use electricity. If you access the world wide web courtesy of a couple of mules pushing a horse mill, make http://www.lehmans.com your first stop. Indeed, you can pick up a double ox yoke there, should your internet go down.
Meanwhile the rest of us should rejoice that a website that started out serving a group of traditional church fellowships known for simple living, plain dress and a diffidence towards modern technology online can, notwithstanding that fairly gaping flaw in its business model, have made a better fist of surviving in business than its giant financial services conglomerate namesake did.
