Yes, and stealing wheels of a doll buggy or wagon for making a "go-cart"

Or to reduce the 'snow" in a fringe area. Even saw one of the wheels with
different colored screens that was motor driven to give the B&W set a
"color" screen.

> Barber shops with "Girlie" magazines (also Garages with "Girlie"
calendars)
I remember the barber shops had skads of comic books that were "too old" for
me to have at home and lots of hunting and fishing magazines.
The local garage had lots of girlie calendars. I thing that was why I had to
put air in my bicycle tires so often there.
