>From the Cambridge International Dictionary of English:
Messrs formal plural of
"Mr" title used before a man's name, esp. used before the names of two or
more people in the title of a company
Messrs Wood and Laurence, solicitors
It's pronounced much like (and has meaning similar to) the French word
"messieurs", except that the trailing "s" *is* pronounced in English (i.e.
"may-syurz").
