“Western Auto”

That’s a hoot. I’m sure we had Western Autos around when I was a kid, but Sears was the place I spent hours pining over a Ted Williams .22LR semi-auto rifle. Got it for Christmas!

Yup, Western Auto.
That where my Dad would go to buy Hercules dynamite, blasting caps and fuse cord, so that we could remove the tree stumps at the edge of the field behind our home.
As I recall, he had to show his driver’s license for ID and then had to sign some form on a clipboard. I think that was in 1956.
That’ll never never happen today.
