Safeway in Arizona had stamps until 1964...Gold Bond Stamps. Then A.J.Bayless picked up the Gold Bond program after Safeway dropped it. The only other AZ chained that used stamps was El Rancho(S&H) --Previous Message--
: I am a graduate student working on a

: phenonenon of the 1950s and 60s. Much
: of its growth originated in the
: explosion of super markets in the same

: rise of discount outfits and food
: warehouse stores. I was wondering if
: anyone here has information regarding
: trading stamps and grocery stores, how
: stores dealt with them, why they used
: (or didn't use) them, which ones used
: "in house" brands, rather
: than S&H, etc. One note: Safeway
: was notoriously anti-stamp, to the
: point that it funded a major
: nation-wide anti-stamp campaign in
: state legislatures in 1955-1960 to try
: to ban them completely (it failed, but
: 1965 was the high water mark for the
: stamps anyway). Thanks!
