All Others Pay Cash

Have you heard all the back to school ads yet? They are a sure sign that the seasons are soon changing. But they also can’t compare to the flare, fun, and marketing genius of a long time Collingwood store owner Mr. T. N. Brown from many long years ago. And because the fall will soon be upon us, this will be the final bonus episode of the summer, as we look forward to our fast approaching third season of the podcast. Make sure to tune in on September 5 for the first episode. What is the one advertisement from the past that you still remember to this day? (Let’s see how far back we can go!) What was the best one you ever heard? We would love for you to share those ads of yesteryear with us! Episode Picture: Interior of T.N.
