[78-L] 78's at "Sally Ann"

[David Lennick]

Oddly enough, this burg has a Sally Ann, a St. Vinnie's across the street which says "clothing store", and no Goodwill other than a donation center up in the northeast corner of the city. There's a "Value Village" though (in Whitby) and I've often found records in some of their stores..usually with a big sticky sticker stuck to the grooves.

 

When I first started collecting in the early 60s (and 78s were a dime, if that..ah, heaven) the Goodwill chain hadn't come into Canada yet. The stores were "The Society for Crippled Civilians". And longtime collectors still refer to "The Crips".
