That’s interesting. I never heard of Fingerhut. My parents were Sears people. They took me there every week when I was a boy. It was the place to shop in the 1960s.

Fingerhut had no retail locations. It was all mail-order. They sold items similar to Sky Mall (the airline catalog) and other really cheap imports. I guess they’re still around, but they sold off most of their infrastructure. The only reason I know of them is they were based in St Cloud, MN. Anyway, the original owner made millions and seemed like a decent guy. He built a beautiful park for his wife and donated it to the city.
