Speaking of dropping away...  I wonder why Mr. Roebuck is no longer  
mentioned with Sears.  I find it interesting that the Sears stores,  
now owned by K-Mart (ex-Kresge), have brass plaques on the walls as  
you enter the store that still reads "Sears, Roebuck & Co."

Perhaps as our economy collapses we will see a resurgence of small  
businesses such as F.W. Woolworth, Ben Franklin Stores, and Western  
Auto... but somehow I doubt it.
It is more likely all of the countries retail sales will be taken  
over by WAL*MART and WALGREENS.

Sure glad I am old,
