Original Caption: Levittown -- Loaded down with premiums, a happy mother and daughter leave the King Korn Redemption Center... in Levittown, Long Island, after exchanging their trading stamps for a variety of goods. Stamp savers can walk out of these stores with anything from baseballs to electric broilers. The firm has found that the average family fills one stamps-saver book of 1500 stamps a month. (1957)
Text and image credit here. Where I grew up (in Minneapolis), the relevant trading stamps were Gold Bond and S&H Green Stamps; our family saved the latter, and I have clear memories of the family gathered around the dining room table trying to find the right combinations of stamps to mount 50 on a page. Surprisingly...
If you still have boxes of Green Stamps tucked away in your attic, here's good news. You can still trade them in for either cash or merchandise. Cash value of 1,200 stamps is $1.20 and you can still get a catalog by calling them at 1-800-435-5674.
