Dixie Catalog

[springfield art]

Just ordered my yearly Dixie Catalog. Haven't ordered from them in years, just a habit I got into back in the 60's!Anyone else ordered it yet? it's a Fall ritual for me.

I bought one about 3 years ago for the same reason as you. I LOVED looking through the catalog back in the 60's and 70's.

Between Dixie catalog and the old Herter's catalog, you can see both of them would have been great politcians, by their ability to pull the wool!

I'm still drooling over the old one

Loved reading the back pages of the old ones. I remember an article to make aerial fireworks out of a 20 gauge shell fired in a 12 gauge shotgun. Lots of GREAT ideas back then...

I've got one maybe 30 years old. Half their stuff is out of stock and I only use the tables in the back of it.

I picked up one last time I was up there. It has an interesting "dated" feel to it - the way things were before the internet, I guess...

Those southern belle ladies minding the front desk are sugar sweet, oh my goodness. I wish that angry owner dude would let me touch and photograph that original soddy-daisy/smr/whatever he has on display that I like. "NO!". What a as__le. Conscience: now Stanley, be nice...

I stopped by and got mine a few weeks ago. The catalog is about the only thing I can afford to buy there nowadays. Percussion caps were $18.95 for a tin of 100!! Limit 2.

Certainly not like old Turner was.

I wonder why they even have that row of guns out (on the wall to your immediate right as you come in the door); you can just barely see them in that dark showroom. Why tempt us and keep us from looking/studying? Put them away for crying out loud.
