Phillip Levy and Company was
the first place to ever extend credit to me!
I paid an outrageous price of $10.00 for a "world band" radio.
They let me pay for it at the rate of $1.00 a week until paid in full. No
interest!
That radio would "pick up" stations around the world as well as the most
important one at the time, 1310, WGH!
It would even pick up "FM" stations, which at the time only "played elevator
music"! |

Apparently I was a naughty little
eight-year-old (big surprise there, right?!?), who suddenly balked at going
to church.
My mama, realizing she could bribe me with new clothes, took me shopping
at Phillip Levy for not one but two new dresses, plus a spring topper.
The only catch was I had to wear them to church before I wore them anywhere
else.
Knowing a good deal when I heard one, I readily agreed.
By a glorious coincidence, the next two Sundays would be
Palm Sunday (alternately spelled "Plam Sunday") and Easter Sunday.
Thrilled with the entire plan, I wrote my beloved paternal grandmother the
illustrated letter above.
When Palm Sunday dawned, I was
feeling considerably less than my best,
but the promise of the new dresses overcame even my legendary knack for
excuse-making.
Declining to mention to anyone that I was rather feverish, off I happily
went to church decked out in my new finery.
By the time I arrived back home, the cause of my malaise was obvious to all.
The pink polka dots on my blue dotted Swiss dress were no match for my pink
polka dotted chicken poxed skin.
But, hey, I kept up my end of the bargain! |
