In reference to the thread about the BIG MAC overall buttons:
I resisted jumping in on this thread because I fear that what I have to say
is so obvious that I've got to be missing the point. So, if it is, just
push the delete button and move on.
I was wondering however, if I am the only one old enough on this list to
remember wearing Big Mac overalls? This was my favorite item of clothes in
the late 1960s and early 70's. And I'm sure it was a catalog item. Think
they were a J.C. Penney brand, but might have been Sears or Montgomery Ward.
So old catalogs may be a good source of information on these.
