I'm not old enough to have lived through that awesomeness. Having C&R license is as close as I'll ever get to that.
When I was a kid I won a pony (1/2 Shetland, 1/2 Palomino ) from the Western Store in Clarksville Tenn. I named her Buttermilk because she was that color.I bought a WWll model 12 riot gun Winchester from Montgomery Wards in 1954 for $55.00.
In addition to rifles from selling products there were also adds that said "Win a pony. I never heard of anyone selling enough salve, seed, or cards to get that pony.
I won a Hereford calf once, six shots from a 32-20 revolver through the center of an ace of spades @ 33.3 yards. I named her 04181999001, she was delicious.When I was a kid I won a pony (1/2 Shetland, 1/2 Palomino ) from the Western Store in Clarksville Tenn. I named her Buttermilk because she was that color.
Yup. Back in the '50s, my mother bought a Marlin 12g bolt action from the Sears catalog as an anniversary gift for my father.Yea, you could look at them and order out of the Montgomery Ward or Sears catalog.
