Bill, I still have a few pages of those old catalogues and newsletters
too. The gentlemen from Monon shops wasn't always truthful in what he
was selling. Jeff Wilson, from Hoquat sold me the Monon's Indian Gas
Station kit. He supplied two soft metal pumps and an Indian figure--all
were giant's--certainly an 0 kit! Luckily Jeff agreed to let me return
the kit. I do have his barbershop building on my layout and it was fine.
I thought the most interesting company was Eastern Model RR Supply of
Hungry Horse, Montana. I never had the need to purchase from them--I
wonder if anyone did?

me to take days to read through.

written in HO language. /
