Thumb Dog and Tom,
Thank you, so very much, for sharing these models (especially the Au Bon Marche truck). This one brings back some great memories. My first duty station, as a brand new 2nd Lt in the USAF, was at Fairchild AFB, just outside of Spokane, WA. The upscale department store in that city was THE BON MARCHE. I walked in to their credit office, showed them my brand new military ID, told them I had a take home pay of $222.40 a month and proudly walked out, 15 minutes later, with my first credit account. Then I walked into their model shop and purchased an all brass, HO scale, Akani, Mikado steam locomotive for the price of $29.95 on credit.
