The Catalogue

The catalogue books
I remember them
There were many books
Eaton's Sear's The Bay
Canadian Tier

Oh how I loved them
I would spend hours
Looking through pages
From clothes to shoes
The household section

Oh and the furniture
I enjoyed looking through
Ordering from the phone
Then pick up at the store
Oh I miss those days.
