The Truman Presidential Seal was established in 1945 when President Harry S. Truman issued an Executive Order which officially defined the Presidential Coat of Arms and Seal for the first time. An eagle's head, which originally faced right toward a bundle of thirteen arrows held in its talons, was turned to face left toward the olive branch it held, symbolizing peace.

Brooks Brothers, established in 1818, is America's oldest retail brand and has the unique distinction of serving forty American Presidents since its founding.
