Thread: Good Buy JC Whitney

Tweet

Among us older folk there are probably lots of stories of stuff bought. I recall getting a set of pistons and rings for an Austin Healey Sprite I had in the early '70s. Also got some stuff for a 4x4 truck. Turned out some of that stuff was major brand product (logo cast on underside) but in a plain white box. Sort of like Speedway does today with some of their items. Never bought any fox tails though, I feel about them like I do about fuzzy dice.

Well now, see, right there is your problem Bob. You are supposed to buy JUST THE TAIL, not the whole coon! (And not liking fuzzy dice is just about un-American!)

Here is a link to a brief history of J C Whitney

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JC_Whitney

To correct the folks in the prior replies, you never got
A catalog from J C Whitney.....you got a flood of catalogs.
If you bought something like $200 from them, you got catalogs
for several years.

On my first trip ever to Chicago, the main site to visit was
the J C Whitney location on Archer Ave....took up the entire
city block! Back then, I was not aware that it was in a two
gun neighborhood (two guns minimum to get in and out)

That's a pretty decent Daniel Boone impression there, Uncle Bob.

Yeah, I told Pops he needed to get some tail and he just looked at me all kinda confused like.
