In the 1960's in New Mexico, they still had the Welcome Wagon girl that would come around to your house when you moved into the neighborhood and give you a nice welcome. Something cooked, coupons and all kinds of helpful literature that would tell you where everything was and things you might need to do. She had a big basket and a sign that said Welcome Wagon. They always gave out lots of goodies that would help you get settled. That was fun. In Ohio, they had green stamp stores. You got green stamps every time you shopped. When you filled a book you could go turn it in at the green stamp store in exchange for an appliance or something neat for free. This was just a thought I had and wanted to write it down before I forgot.
