ON this date in 1872 - Aaron Montgomery started his mail order business with the delivery of the first mail order catalog.

The firm later became Montgomery Ward.

Bun, Purple and I would wile away the hours paging thru the catalog in our youth.

Finally, me mum took it away when the women's bra and panties pages got more tattered than the rest of the book--WHO FIGURED?

(Secretly, the Boyz and I always wondered why panties had the days of the week on 'em)
