Remembering S and H Green Stamps

Remembering S & H Green Stamps By Elton Camp This was at one time a marketer’s dream Loved, though most knew it was a scheme For each dime spent, one stamp you got Soon they would add up to quite a lot Grocery stores that wouldn’t participate Their decision would soon come to hate For about the stamps customers did care And they’d take their shopping elsewhere Lick ‘em and stick ‘em into a little book Go to the redemption center for a look What made ‘em even more of a rage One big stamp filled up a whole page Swap the filled books for merchandise A toaster or a lamp that looked nice Some felt they were getting things free But the more savvy knew it couldn’t be Use of Green Stamps finally faded away But they were wildly popular in their day
