LOL, Yes, I am sure S & R catalogue pages came in handy when there was not near universal toilet paper.
But, S & R’s real success was they were like a combination of Walmart plus Amazon at one time, and sold many things not sold by either one, including houses and farm equipment like tractors.
But back to Korea.
Yes some places had indoor toilets, even some houses, and of course modern hotels and offices.
But in all the large public toilets in Korea I ever experienced, like at large Korean movie theaters, the stench as so bad I on occasion just skipped the opportunity.
And in our U.S. Army quarters, the toilet part of the “bathroom” quonset hut was much like the picture of the old Roman latrine - a bunch of toilets in a row with no partitions around or in front of them, and our company had just that one toilet area near the quonset huts that were our barracks. The shower was a shower room; just a large totally open square room with showers along the walls and a kerosene heater in the middle of the room.
