Service Merchandise was the shit ,always looked forward to going as a kid. They had the dopest electronics. Never seen the Sears joint

Yes, I used to love those Service Merchandise catalogs as a kid.
I even liked the non-toy items like the slot machines.
This was like our Internet back in the day, our only connection to all the stuff that was available (and that our parents couldn't afford, LOL).
Going to Service Merchandise store was nice too. I cried a little when they shut down our only store.
 
Service Merchandise bought out this spot called Sam Soloman's back home. One was right next to my summer job site. So I used to walk right over to that spot before and after work to look at keyboards and electronics.

The Sears catalog was like having Amazon's website in your hands...but we would go straight to the toy section to see what we wanted for Christmas. JC Penny's catalog was prolly the only thing that could come close to Sears in my area.

Several catalogs came out during the course of a year. The thinner seasonal catalogs and the huge catalog that some kids could barely lift.

And you had better not accidentally rip the page out of a book that had something that you wanted on it.

:lol:
 
I pestered the hell out my mama for the U.S.S. Flag for my birthday and was on track to get it until the teacher called and informed her of my grades. :smh:

:lol::lol::lol:

man the first time i EVER heard that was from a college buddy of mine, taum bout jackin' off to jc penny underwear ads.

that shit was FOREIGN to me.

i had actual playboy mags to look at.
 
You wasn't shit if you didn't have a backboard laundry basket on your door.

Shit we had the wire hanger that u twist into a hoop shape, I would shoot rolled up socks or balled up pieces of tin foil.

And my Moms used to tell me to circle or check off all the items I wanted, but would never get me any of them:angry::angry:
