    Yes, I remember them also. Was fun licking and filling the books. My second job was customer service for Plaid Stamps. The things people used to get. Big things . they had the whole neighborhood saving for them. The stamp business was very big. Only quit because they moved the office to South Jersey.

    I can remember pasting the stamps in the small books for my Mother. I still use a floor polisher she brought with them. Thanks for the memory.

    I remember S&H green stamps very well. I still have the wood rocking chair that I got with them 45 years ago. It still looks great.

    My mom would put the stamps in a shoe box and when the box was full I would lick and stick in the books, We had Blue Chip also. For single mom raising 2 kids these were like treats to be able to get something her budget did not allow. This opens up so many memories from the "good ol days"

    I remember them. My mom collect3ed them too. When I got to go with her to pick out something from the store, I thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread.
