Thanks.<br /><br />M Lane- I was wondering if you knew it. That catalog brings back so many memories. When I was a kid I thught WI was in Canada.<br /><br />D -I've tried that and lost as well. I should buy a self storage franchise and live in one. <br /><br />Dad- That would explain the catalogs we had. I do remember getting my crap together for a $5 money order (international no less) for pictures of a MG-TC for sale in the U.K. when I was 15. <br /><br />DB- That crest is begging to be stolen. I can see the boys at Chez Lauren coming out with a line of "North Woods" stuff and the tags with a hybrid of this crest. If it hasn't been done already.<br /><br />ZZ- I did see some lures on Ebay. As well as traps and bullet molds. I would love to hang a trap on the wall but doubt that'll fly with the Gulf Foxtrot.<br /><br />7/26 Twins- Great to see you.

Only thing I have left from Herter's are four giant muskie lures, circa 1968, which I still haven't yet gotten around to using. Those and my ancient LL Bean fly fishing vest and Bob Dope Fly Fishing Tournament hat are cherished possessions.ZZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01288837317098631423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-13776036135116487012009-07-30T12:35:51.725-04:002009-07-30T12:35:51.725-04:00Dang!

I'd pour over it for hours dreaming of a life in the great outdoors away from the hot-as-hell tourist-packed beaches I lived near. The grass is always greener...<br /><br />My Wisconsin uncle and grandfather wore casual stout clothing like Herter's: sort of a gentleman-on-a-fair weather-hike kind of look. My mom liked that Herter's was from her neck of the woods...so to speak.<br /><br />Graphic designers today go out of their way to design brochures and catalogs that bad!

Bought from them while in Army since Herter's had better underclothes and boots, etc.<br />Correct that Cabela's has assumed the role, but not nearly as well. Cabella's employees (like Wal Mart and others) don't know shit from shoe polish. Have to be repeatedly quizzed<br />via 800#. Bought an extraordinarily expensive camp cot from Cabella's recently. Couldn't figure out how to open it and set it up because had no instructions. While waiting for them to send instructions, figured it out instinctively. Found instructions INSIDE the folded cot!

I put (insert name of piece of crap) in the garbage, cha cha cha. He digs it out and hides it, cha cha cha. I find it, wrap in something really disgusting, cha cha cha. The garbage man picks it up, turn, and cha cha cha. My husband yells "Where is my (insert name of piece of crap) cha cha cha?" I say "I have no idea, cha cha cha." It's a great dance. The GF will love doing it. You, not so much.

Everyone, well every male anyway, eagerly read every page of it. Every year. We ordered numerous tackle boxes, reels, shirts, boots, you name it, [well, not socks] from Herters. Nothing came close.<br /><br />I was looking for Herters a year or so ago and I think I read the brand had been purchased by Cabela's. Which is good. But not Herters. What great memories this post brings back...<br /><br />ML<br />mlanesepic.blogspot.comM.Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02898845239082082494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-2287440224983563682009-07-29T14:21:47.613-04:002009-07-29T14:21:47.613-04:00These are absolutely fabulous.

Unless you are a wealthy eccentric (hoarder with a lot of money) and can afford a palatial apt. I am assuming the GF must have her own place because no woman could live with all the BB catalogs, hunting catalogs, belts, clothing, tortellini shoes, photos, magazines, expensive socks, Trad ephemera... Tell me, where do you keep all this crap or will I just have to wait and find out on the next episode of Intervention? D P.s. I'm not complaining, all this crap is great fodder for your blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
