Great story, YD. My Aunt and Uncle lived in Ketchum, ID for many years back around them. My aunt kept a huge basket in the living room filled with mail-order catalogs of all stripes. Coming from more mid-sized city suburbs, I was always amazed and wondered “why does she need those?” There wasn’t much shopping around Ketchum in those days and it was two hours to Twin Falls (which wasn’t very big then, either).
I DO remember the Sears catalog around the holidays. What a wonderful “wish book” it was.
