The rather large grocery chain "Lowes" here in the Southeastern US has a
Green Stamp program. It's the same old "S & H" green stamp company that I
remember from my youth in Illinois (in the '40's!)
----------------------------------------------------------
In a previous life I used to be in the cemetery business in Miami, Florida
and we also sold bronze memorials. One of our suppliers, Gorham Bronze,
furnished us with S&H Green Stamps for every marker that we sold and I would have my
employees dutifully lick and paste the stamps into books and save them. I had
bushels of books.
When in 1987 it was announced that S&H was closing its Miami redemption
office I gathered all the books into boxes and went to the store to cash them in.
I remember thinking whether I should seek a new Corvette or perhaps a trip to
Hawaii or the like. I came away with a collander and a set of Tupperwear.
