Oh the good ol days!

This immediately brought to mind a song we used to sing in elementary school. The Wells Fargo Wagon

Oh the Wells Fargo wagon is a coming down the street, oh please let it be for me
Oh the Wells Fargo wagon is a coming down the street, I wish I wish I knew what it could be.
I got a box of maple sugar for my birthday,
In March I got a gray makinaw,
and once I got some grapefruit from Tampa,
Montgomery Ward sent me a bathtub, and a cross cut saw.

Amazing, I hadn't thought of that song in 40 years! Thanks for the flashback!

ETA - LOL! I did a quick search and evidently that song is from The Music Man! I never knew....... and I had some of the words wrong, but I was close! I changed them! Now they're right!

WOW this is old! Montgomery Ward---boy haven't heard that name in a looooooonnnnnnnng time! Cute chick--love the big feet.

Oh no, if you're truly old to match the ad (although I remember buying meat chicks for 25 cents each), but I can just hear my mother saying...............

Monkey Wards!

Isn't that what that generation always called them?

Our Montgomery Wards finally shut it's doors about 5 years ago. I don't believe they ever sold chicks or cross cut saws at that location though

Can't believe that this weekend they'll be 2 weeks old! I have a white Icelandic that is already eyeing the top of the brooder looking for a way to escape!... and they've already got wings!
