Thats cool.
My 1st major purchase in 72 was a Hoover Celebrity vacuum from Sears at Sunrise & US1 in Lauderdale. Had to keep our Bachelor Pad on Las Olas tidy
Bought it on Sears credit paid it off and established credit.
I still have the vac and it works great
Similar story back in ‘79 as a recently graduated college student with at that time a worthless BA degree with NO credit I went to the Sears store and bought a $200 vacuum and applied for a Sears credit card. They said no go, no credit record. For some strange reason I pleaded, I begged, I almost cried, the credit manager dude took pity but only approved $160 credit limit. I paid it off in a few months and my road to $35,000 credit card limits had begun. Now I NEVER carry a credit card balance month to month. Charge $3 or $4 grand and pay it off with first bill. Get the card points and no interest fees. What a system 😆
