Remember when you got free dishes with vacuum cleaner?

It was Rinso soap. Also Welch's (?) jelly glasses with cartoon characters and S & H green stamps.
I got a great upholstered swivel rocker from S & H when my 1st daughter was born. It was the go-to chair when my kids needed comforting. Oldest (now in her 40s) had it until a few years ago when her basement flooded. I wish I still had it.
I did not realize the colored aluminum glasses were from cottage cheese. My mom had several of those.

I remember getting a ham for watching a vacuum cleaner demonstration, maybe Kirby. The funny part was that it was our first little rented duplex and had all wood floors! We had a couple of throw rugs.The guy was so persistent, we just decided to let him come in for the demonstration, didn't take long! And we did get the ham, which we needed, so little money at that time:)

My mom had the colored aluminum glasses too. We also had the towels and dishes. But the gas station in our small town gave out bicentential glasses way before 1976. They had a band of stars on blue around the top and red and white stripes on the bottom. Had lots of them. Got "crystal" stemmed glasses from my aunt's bank. When I worked at the bank we gave out steak knives, stuffed bear banks, cookbooks, can't remember what all. Sure wish we could get something nice now.

I remember the gas attendant (remember them???) giving my mother a piece of silverware when she got gas. Not sure if it was for a fill-up or not, but I do know that she had complete settings for eight.

Do your remember little undershirts and cloth (CLOTH?) diapers in, maybe, Ivory Flakes? Got lots from S&H stamps, gold bond (?). I remember getting a milk glass lamp for opening a savings account when I was......ok, nevermind.
