Ah, kinda the collector's version of buy 10, get 1 free

Not rationing stamps at all.

Following world war II a company called S&H started marketing green stamps which other vendors would supply when buying their products. S&H itself had a catalog of items that could be redeemed with those stamps. If I recall, this went on for quite a long time but by the Mid-60's they were gone. The marketers themselves started offering points which could then be redeemed from a gift catalog. When this happened there was no point to S&H particularly since the companies now offering the redemption got some add on sales and brand loyalty as a result of the direct program.

Hope this helps young people who are not old enough to remember these shenanigans! LOL

And the S & H stood for Sperry and Hutchinson. I didn't have to look it up as I was old enough to be using them as a young married adult!

I remember me and my mom pasting those stamps on and it was a treat to go to the catalog store and get stuff. Seemed like it was free

There's an art to negotiation and thankfully I've slept with and had pillow talk with a government procument/negotitions expert till she retired.

Don,

Sounds like you negotiated well if you got to trade up after that model was obselete. :ROTFL:

(No insult intended...just playing off the humour of the "till she retired" qualifier.

No worries Greg although I had thought about letting you sweat for awhile. Looking back on the message I think I could of used better wording; then again I did say she retired not she was retired...

I have to play nice as she is my office manager now.

This also reminds me that our last two dogs were "retired" a year apart both in February which also happens to be my birth month. I can see this conversation taking a whole new direction. Okay babble mode off, count this as the end of a long day in the sun.

Aha, well, if she retired young, then you did even better.

We both went out at 55! Sandy from the FAA and I was one of the first to go from DHS.

I guess since the topic turned to S&H green stamps one found memory I have is the Brady Bunch episode where there was competition over how to redeem the trading stamps saved up by the family. The boys wanted a canoe I think and the girls a sewing machine....Oh those crazy kids and Alice.

Seriously though no additional info on specifics of this program?

Hey Roger

Me too (I am now 72)

Isn't it fun to get old. At our age we can spend real time just reminiscing. Try that if you are under 50! LOL

Steve is correct. Capture Integration will gladly talk with anyone interested in the 0% financing for 18 month offer that we are currently running.

Sorry for going off topic, but it offered Don and I some good banter!

Since I am still involved in consulting and involved in the sales of high-end digital photo gear I was just curious as others maybe of how this worked out.
I have helped and still keep in contact with several forum members since my departure from CI.
I do not always re-sell the gear myself, sometimes I make a referral to a preferred dealer for the completion of the transaction.
As there were no clear details listed here or on the website I thought I would inquire because it maybe of interest to many.

Lance - just a quick question and maybe I missed it along the way, but why are you no longer with CI? I ask as they seem to be a good company to work for. I figure from a consumer/client point of view they've always have been up front in their messages and dealings on the 2 boards I know of and they've earned my respect and friendship as well. I know you helped open their Miami store which wasn't all that long ago.

It just seems (at least to me) to be the 2 ton elephant in the room. I can understand privacy issues and I have no intent to cause harm to anyone.

I've had this question for some time but never got around to asking. I do want to thank you for your support and help while at CI.
