T.G.&Y. Stores:Gone but not forgotten

[Prunepicker]

Any of you guys or gals remember the Sporting Goods department at the
T.G.&Y. Store on 74th and South Penn?I started that department many years
ago... (1965)... Any stories to help me jog my memories?

I remember a super door buster! A really nice Remington .22 rifle for $15 or
$20 to the first customer. Dad bought one for my brother for @$50 that day.
I think we still have parts of it.

There was always a sale or gimmick to get us into the sporting goods
department. It was like the newspapers ads were all focused at my Dad.
"Whoa! Look at what's on sale at TG&Y. I need another tackle box!"
