In Anchorage there’s a bar called Chilkoot Charley’s. Their slogan; _We cheat the other guy and pass the savings on to you!_ ---

We have a solicitor’s nearby called “Wright Hassell”. ---

The public transport agency was the Société de Transport de la Communauté Urbaine de Montréal… STCUM (spelled out when said aloud, “ess-té-cé-u-em”). Since the Island merger, though, it’s just STM. ---

For a while we had a store around here called ‘Harlequeens’. I never made it in to see what they really sold, but my first thought was a bunch of guys in jester drag. ---

Well, there is the store in southern Indiana known as **French Liquors**. They are in French Lick, IN and Paoli, IN. I seem to recall them having some interesting t-shirts for sale, but they don’t have a website that I can find. ---

I just remembered one from the Dickens Christmas Fair - it’s fictional, so it doesn’t really count, but it’s still good. Miracle Chimney Sweeps of London. _If it’s a clean sweep, It’s a Miracle!_ ---

> [@VunderBob](#): > > That link triggered my antivirus software, with a high danger alert. Be careful. Strange. It didn’t trigger for me with two separate programs, nor did it come up as a risky site via Google. Might be that they got exploited a while back, and have since fixed the page, but some AV programs haven’t been updated properly. It’s a completely legit company, at any rate. I had to laugh, though: on the left-hand button menu, there is an item “Dump Bodies”! WTF, indeed. Of course, these are kits to convert a truck into a dump truck. ---

We have a port-a-potty rental/service company around here that uses “A straight flush beats a full house!” as their slogan. And then there’s a tree-cutting company that has “Asplundh” as their name. Generally referred to as “the sneeze truck”. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/amusing-company-name-and-slogan-feel-free-to-add-on/591679.md?page=2)
