Remember Service Merchandise? We had one for a while in Mountain View I think where there was a Gemco, and it eventually became a Target.

#45: "Remember Service Merchandise?"

Oh yes. You had to look in the catalog and tell them what you wanted. That's the way Sears
worked for years in small towns.

I used to think it was a miracle to order something at the Sears store, and you could pick it up
in a few days! Wow, it sure beat parcel post back in the days of the ubiquitous caution:

"Please allow 6 to 8 weeks for delivery".
