Service merchandise was always a good place to go. When I was a kid, I have fond memories going there for some reason. It must have been the conveyor belt that brought you your goods on your way out the door. ---

You may remember Dahlkemper’s but how about Brand Names? Gold Circle? Super Duper? Bells? Twin Fair? Two Guys? Sounds Great? Hills? Child World? Ames? AM&As? Yes. I’m old. Sharper Image was probably done-in by this thing called the World Wide Web. No one buys the stuff they sell when they can try it first. They may buy it online based on convincing ad-copy and pretty photos.
