Yeah, me too. But the Western Auto store in town didn't sell them as cheap as mom and dad did through their country store/gas station.I remember Western Auto selling firearms.
I've mentioned it before, but I still have a couple of 1962 Winchester/Western catalogs from my mom's and dad's store. It was my job to pump the gas (no self serve in those days) wash windshields, check the oil, and check tire pressure if asked. Between customers, I spent a lot of time studying that Winchester/Western catalog, when I should have been studying my school books.
It all worked out okay though...I went to college after I retired. Our youngest daughter was a graduating Senior when I was just a Freshman at the same university. She helped me with a few of my first papers, just like I taught her about guns while she was growing up.
