Sears Wishbook

Any of you older 40-50 (if you admit it) folks out there remember going through the Wish Book around the fall of each year? Remember the anticipation -- What am I going to get for Christmas? WAITING FOR MY HC CLUBMAN GIVES ME EXACTLY THE SAME FEELING. Oh it's great to be a kid again!

The S&H stood for Sperry & Hutchinson. How stupid am I?

My recollection of the Sears Wish book was of it hanging on the inside of the outhouse door. Is that where your wish list is?

2 of my Aunt's used to collect them - then hold them for my sister and I to lick (yuck) and stick into the books. We got SUCH a kick out of it...hehehehe...it's the little things in life...
