I licked and pasted many of them for my mom and grandmother. There use to be an S&H Green Stamp store right across the highway from Salisbury State where Caruthers Elementary (Hall) is located.
OH YEA, I was walking to high school on Somerset Ave. in Crisfield Md. in the morning. I passed by funeral home and on the front lawn was a large S&H Green Stamp sign.
Mom used to get a S&H catalog every few months.Hundreds of items inside.They even had an airplane for which one could redeem the stamps.It cost somewhere north of 10,000 books,but it was in the catalog.
In a city near where I lived as a kid was an S&H Green Stamp store, where the catalog contents were on shelves. I remember my mom getting a new toaster there. 55 years later, my dad still uses the toaster.
I had completely forgotten about the store across from SU.Was'nt there a Top Value Stamp store in Salisbury somewhere as well?
I was the one in the family that had to stick all the stamps in the little books. My favorite thing my Dad got with the stamps was a large portrait of "Blue Boy" which I wish I had gotten in his memory. He really loved that picture it was hung in the living room. The other stuff was mostly kitchen stuff.
yes, i got a tennis racket and some other things with them when i was a kid. place was located out on rt. 13 south.
I remember the old Colonial grocery store where the "green stamps" were given out. My mom would shop there when I was a kid. Now, this will take you back a bit. The Colonial store was where the WaWa now sits on S. Salisbury Blvd. And that was back when the Sears and Roebuck store was next door, in the same building where Advance Auto Parts now operates. Man, I'm getting old!
I remember S.H Green Stamps. My mother and aunt would pool theirs together and get things both families could share. They got one of those large capacity coffee makers and a punch bowl set and a suntan lamp. It came complete with a set of goggles.
8:42am. I feel old, too. I remember those stores in that location.
The Colonial Store was where the Goodwill is now.Johnny's and Sammy's was where WaWa is.
i still have a scar on my left hand from the cylinders of my Cox gas powered airplane I got with several books of True Value stamps...
