Excerpt from a NY Times article on tradiing stamps in 1987:
Quote:
In January 1987, the 84-year-old Eagle Stamps Company, which once had 2,000 retail accounts, went out of business.
Except from a Wiki article on The May Company of Cleveland, Ohio:
Quote:
[The May} Company was known for its sponsorship of the Eagle Stamp program. Consumers could earn Eagle Stamps on purchases at The May Company as well as on purchases at Pick-N-Pay Supermarkets, Leader Drug Stores, and participating gas stations and dry cleaners. Completed stamp booklets could be redeemed at May Company for $3 credits toward merchandise purchases at May Company stores. The trading stamp program was administered by the May Company [who] owned Eagle Stamp Company of St. Louis from 1903 to 1987.
