Who thought of this one, I wonder?  I’m guessing it wasn’t a woman, or a gay man.  Here is a very old tiled entrance to a store.  Heaven only knows how old it is… but somebody really put some thought in to the layout and design of those tiles.  But the phrase has a bit to be desired, doesn’t it?

Silver’s 5 to 10 cent and 1 dollar stores.  I mean, what the heck?  Loopy.

The Old Silver Brothers, Dewey and Floyd, were sitting around drinking one night, and…. and…. Dewey says, “Let’s name our stores  Silver’s 5-10¢ & $1.00 Stores”  Floyd is elated.  Out of his gourd……”Well hell yes Dewey! I’ll drink to that!  Perfectly Superb!”  And so it began….

You could spend a nickel there.  Or a dime.  Or a dollar even.  But nothing else.  Floyd and Dewey thought this was a splendid idea. Yes indeedy.  They went out of business eleven months later.  As it turned out, people wanted to spend 25 or 30 cents at a time.  So they went elsewhere to spend their silver.
