The manager of their trading stamp store told me that they made enough from people buying for cash or adding cash to too-few stamps that the cash alone kept the store open,but eventually traffic tailed off. In effect, the supermarkets only needed to pay for printing stamps and booklets, and the cashiers' labor in dispensing them, so they could keep giving away stamps 15 years after everyone else stopped giving them out.

This seems incredibly early. I still remember many supermarkets issuing the stamps when I was young in the late 1960s and early 1970s, so the flat statement that "supermarkets stopped issuing them in 1965" is simply wrong. (I'm willing to believe the decline may have started then, but even the

The Sperry and
Hutchinson still exists, but the 1965 date pretty well jibes with my memory for A&P and Kroger to drop S&H. My local IGA, the local Marathon station, and local Gambles store dropped TV stamps a couple of months
