🧑‍🤝‍🧑 / 🏡 I just got a Montgomery Wards catalog in the mail. I'm a little shook up.

So weird of a flashback...haven't seen one in two or more decades.

Correction: It wasn't addressed to me. The good ol' USPS!

It's still weird.

We have gotten one every once in a while. We also have been getting Finger Hut here the thing both magazines are the same stuff in them.

On my mail route my house number and the next delivery are the same. Different streets. Same number, different street. I get all their mail, they get mine all the time. (I don't get anything but junk.)

They were bought out by Service Merchandise...

Really?

Ya know, for a brick and mortar store, that was a weird place. I remember the one in Huntsville...watching orders coming through on the belt was fascinating as a kid.

Yeah, I thought so, too. Still, it was a pretty cool store for the early - mid 80s. Then again, so was Best Buy back in the 90s.

Montgomery Ward when I was in the Army at Ft. Benning. A new mall was opening up and one of the end store was MW. First credit card we got was MW. Then I bought my first CB at Service Merchandise. About 1976-77.

Got a Yellow Pages a couple weeks ago. I didn't think they still made them.

I was just funnin' with you.

I hated them. You had to stand in line to order it, pay for it, and get it. When they went out of business, treble damages as far as I was concerned.

Guess what we got today! We got more credit on here than we did when we open our account at the store.
