Thanks to everybody for the nice comments, especially the recollections of buying from Yeko, Gelman, and Oreck, and the additional price lists and stuff from back then. I have quite a bit more, but I could only include so much because you're limited to 18 images per post, and I was kind of trying to tell a story here. I'll certainly post more as I have time.

By the way, not only is Bruce Yeko still around and very active in his 70s, but so are Marshall Oreck, who is 88 and lives in New Orleans, and Marshall's brother David Oreck of vacuum cleaner fame, who is 93.
