If I’m not mistaken, Sears moved into the space vacated by Montgomery Wards in our mall.

Canadians might/should recognize the guy on the left
I'm sitting in Latrobe, PA right now as I look at your post. That is the hometown of Fred Roger's. I just went under a overpass that has the phrase "It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood." on it. What a cool coincidence.

Maple Frosted Wheaties. These were available in Canada. I used to buy them and bring some back to the U.S. I liked them.
Does anyone remember getting peanuts in a little round red box in the 1960s and sometimes there would be coins in them?
Camp Fire Girls. It went co-ed in 1975 and changed the name to Camp Fire USA, and now it's just called Camp Fire.
I'm still reading this thread through (I'm up to page 880!), but I felt I had to comment on this before I forgot. The organ shown above is not a Farfisa, but a Baldwin BC-1, one of two combo organs that Baldwin sold. The other was the Howard, which was built in Italy by GEM, while the BC-1 was made by Baldwin in the US. both were blue, which was a fairly uncommon color for combo organs (red/orange was the predominant color). For more info on these old things you don't see much any more, check out my website, www.combo-organ.com. Plenty of info there about Farfisa and many other brands, too!P16 Farfisa Organ and Baldwin Amp
Great, pic, BTW, Love all the knobs and colored switches on the amp - not something you see much around now (or then, even!). Baldwin was clearly marching to a different drummer.
