Those are the ones in the pic Gary posted. S&H Green Stamps was their official name. They were *everywhere* or at least seemed to be. In Chicago, we got one stamp for every 10 cents spent.

@BrazenlyLiberal @GaryPoole oh I remember them. I was talking about the puce stamps in The Pogo Puce Stamp Catalog, by Walt Kelly. I thought it was hilarious.

Aha. I don't remember those. I used to read Pogo every day, too. My memory isn't what it used to ... what was that again? πŸ˜ƒ

@BrazenlyLiberal @GaryPoole it sounds like you mean everyday in the newspaper. His newspaper columns were collected into books. In addition, there were some themed books that I don't think came from newspapers at all, and the Puce Stamp Catalog was one of those. Also, fantagraphics.com has been reissuing the newspaper strips in large hardback books that are very well done.

@DavidKMresists @GaryPoole

Interesting! My husband must have had one of those books because he says he recalls Puce Stamps.
