We needed a new bus mainly for the choir to go and sing in churches and events that could get donations. The school bought a new bus using S & H green stamps donated from people. I remember going to the main office in Greenvile to put stamps in books, sorting and counting. Don't know how many books it took but I know it was a lot.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02352602704817640058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3408099437107639570.post-23751823748503810512014-05-31T03:59:24.434-05:002014-05-31T03:59:24.434-05:00The yellow stamps were called Gold Bond The yellow stamps were called Gold Bond Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3408099437107639570.post-45475729225701610492012-05-23T12:41:25.626-05:002012-05-23T12:41:25.626-05:00Seems like they are still around...Chase Rewards P...Seems like they are still around...Chase Rewards Points!john bailohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01856116708814148994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3408099437107639570.post-63724274642848315552012-03-26T09:35:51.230-05:002012-03-26T09:35:51.230-05:00As I was the oldest, so I got the privilege of put...As I was the oldest, so I got the privilege of putting the stamps in the book. We, too, used the wet sponge and saucer technique. I really didn't like the smallest stamps which required so many to fill up the page (was it about 100 or so of the little ones?). Our Green Stamp store was in Tupelo. I got my first set of hot rollers AND curling iron from there. We would get our stamps from the grocery store which was Horn's Big Star. I also remember Quality Stamps which were similar to S & H.Jim Woodrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15917299007746671963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3408099437107639570.post-59694102048637554372012-03-26T09:34:09.757-05:002012-03-26T09:34:09.757-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jim Woodrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15917299007746671963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3408099437107639570.post-29224843312008456582012-03-26T09:33:51.273-05:002012-03-26T09:33:51.273-05:00My grandmother collected them.

I would sit there and paste them in the books for hours. Some stamps were worth more than others. Then we would load up in the car and go to Greenville (or was it Greenwood?) to redeem them. I don't really remember what she got, maybe an iron or something, but we were avid g.s. collectors.Jim Woodrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15917299007746671963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3408099437107639570.post-9493520860682496082012-03-26T09:33:02.860-05:002012-03-26T09:33:02.860-05:00I remember my mother collecting them, and I recall...I remember my mother collecting them, and I recall helping stick them into the books.

I remember going with her to the S&H store (which I think was near Westland Plaza) to redeem them. All she had to pay was sales tax. Yeah, I remember them. Also remember there was another competing stamp. It was yellow, I think. But it wasn't as popular as S&H.Jim Woodrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15917299007746671963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3408099437107639570.post-29583063048484071692012-03-26T09:32:12.424-05:002012-03-26T09:32:12.424-05:00Here are some other responses (with names removed)...Here are some other responses (with names removed) from FB posts:<br /><br />As everyone knows, I am a coupon person. I remember the excitement of filling up a "green stamp book" I could usually con my kids into pasting the stamps in. We had a method of using a wet sponge sitting in a dish. Off hand I can't remember exactly what we got with our filled books but I do remember it was a hard decision to make.Jim Woodrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15917299007746671963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3408099437107639570.post-25172557774112035102012-03-26T06:56:01.310-05:002012-03-26T06:56:01.310-05:00The redemption store in south Jackson was still th...The redemption store in south Jackson was still there in the late 70s.
