All of the little ads in the back of these...I know. All of the little ads in the back of these magazines invite you to write for a free catalog and list of dealers. You gotta be REALLY interested to go to that much trouble. In the seventies it was a Self Addressed Stamped Envelope. I remember that from Zoom. Send it to Zoom!

Then an office boy has to bring your letter to the Dept. of Finding Dealers, where the boss yells at a nebbish -- who secretly wishes he was a pirate or an astronaut or some shit -- to figure out where you live, then mail you back a sheet of paper with dealers on it.<br /><br />It's ridiculous. It's a wonder every company didn't go out of business. The whole process must've taken a month. By that time, a guy in a striped shirt, newsboy cap and Robin mask has stolen all your valuables.Craig F.http://yankeedriver.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
