Chris - Feel free to post this on your site (with credit, of course). I am still in the process of posting pages in the catalog, so it's not complete..

The price seems right, until you convert for inflation. $8.99 then would be $61 today. About what they have for regular-price dresses on their site today.

Wow! Lotta work scanning all that in! Thanks for doing it--this is very interesting. What's also interesting is the "2 for 17.99" makes it sound like you should be saving money, when you aren't. That, and the silly copy.

I haven't seen a recent edition of their catalog, but I'll bet the copy isn't any less silly. [Esp. in the "false promises" department!] LOL!
