Sears catalog too slipery...use yellow pages ;-)

My dad used to tell about how in the depression, they had to use the purple tissue papers that peaches used to come packed in...hence the reason his parents had damn near 90 rolls of TP in their closets, when we cleaned out the place after their deaths

Back in the 50s & 60s, the catalogs used velum, not coated paper, so it wasn’t slippery. Now, it’s glossy stock and wouldn’t work out as TP real well.

The US Military vote is going to get screwed bigtime by the corrupt, criminal 0bummer&CoRegimeFromHell, in this election!
