Lally's Drug Store on the corner of Higgins and Neva on the far northwest side of Chicago in the late 1960's. I lived on Neva 6 houses away from the corner where the drugstore was. Would buy as many packs as I could - unfortunately that usually meant 2 packs cause I typically only had a dime - stand outside the store next to a garbage can, open the packs, chomp the gum, put the cards in my shirt pocket, walk back home, and sit on my back porch reading each card. A miscut card would never make it home and would end up in the garbage can. I still have all the ones I bought back then.
