Kates Brothers snail mail spam
« on: December 02, 2016, 03:15:17 PM »
I got this yesterday, addressed to.............my address. There are about 3 dozen apartments in my building, so I'm assuming that all the tenants got this too.

Kates thanks me for my recent purchase. I've never been there in my life.

Maybe my building bought new shoes. I hope it bought loafers..............I wouldn't want it to have to bend down to tie shoelaces.

If it tilts twice, I'll know it's using a shoe horn.


CLICKit!

After Kates Bros I'll walk over to Tfank, then Womraths...pop into Cowans...maybe Woolworths for some wrapping paper. Then finish my day with food shopping at Packards, get a haircut while I'm there......oh wait, isn't it 1981?  :o

Nah - it's 1966 and I'm in Kartch's getting my new Nicky Newark jacket with my fancily-scripted initials sewn on it.

Next up: Ol' Homer discusses zoot suits.

If I was from Newark, maybe.............besides, no one ever wanted to chance being confused with Norton Nork - a character on the old Sandy Becker show.

...Becker created such characters as double-talking disc jockey Hambone, the addled, but brilliant Big Professor (who claimed to know the answer to every question in the world), rumpled Hispanic kid's show host K. Lastima, incompetent mad scientist Dr. Gesundheit, and — showing a remarkable knack for silent comedy — simple-minded Norton Nork, whose routines of earnest bumbling were joined only by musical accompaniment and a droll Becker narration that ended, invariably, with, "That's my boy, Norton Nork — you've done it again!"

It's a quality store.  I saw none other than Halle Berry coming out of that store a number of years ago, with a bag and a pair of shoes.  They specialize in "scientific" shoe fitting for people with foot pain.

That's my point............why would a quality store like that need to resort to such low-end business tactics?

Looks like the last gasp before the " For Rent " sign gets hung on the door.
