RIVERDALE RAT 203 posts Sep 08, 2009 8:31 AM	newsnot: A&P either gave out Plaid stamps or Gold Bond Stamps I cant remember which. I think it was Plaid stamps. I dont ever recall Liberal giving out trading stamps.
newsnot 83 posts Sep 08, 2009 8:46 AM	riverdale, now i remember a & p gave out plaid stamps. seems like liberal should have given out some kinda stamps. i can not remember.
newsnot 85 posts Sep 08, 2009 8:49 AM	riverdale: a&p had a store at 4225 north main in a shopping center. what was the name of that theatre just south of it ?
RIVERDALE RAT 207 posts Sep 08, 2009 9:00 AM	newsnot: I am thinking it was a Loew's but I am not positive.
driver62 239 posts Sep 08, 2009 12:24 PM	Yep, it was a Loews and the shopping center was Northtown.
Bigmo 10 posts Sep 08, 2009 12:36 PM	FWIW, Kroger and some gas stations gave out Top Value stamps. You could redeem Top Value stamps for Kings Island tix because the owners were tied together. Top Value was also linked with WLWT in Cinci and Ruth Lyons used to come to the Woodman Drive store in Kettering.
RIVERDALE RAT 210 posts Sep 08, 2009 2:08 PM	newsnot: I dont think Liberal gave out trading stamps...anybody ?
RIVERDALE RAT 211 posts Sep 08, 2009 2:14 PM	Bigmo: Kroger was one of the main sponsors of the Ruth Lyons 50-50 Club.
newsnot 91 posts Sep 08, 2009 3:23 PM	riverdale: i was an attractive theatre as i remember. i have a lot of places to check out. did you delve into the soaphs website? there will be a lot to talk about on that one.
newsnot 92 posts Sep 08, 2009 3:25 PM	seems like liberal would need to give out stamps to keep up with kroger's and alber's.
dquartz 95 posts Sep 08, 2009 7:39 PM	we used to do all of our shopping at liberal when i was a kid and i cant remember any trading stamps. i could be wrong.
RIVERDALE RAT 220 posts Sep 09, 2009 10:28 AM	Dan-Q: you probably wont believe this but I remember that. the church got involved as well. I went to a baptism for the daughter of one of my mothers friends. it was in Corpus Christi church on the corner. a small pretty church with a short single domed steeple. I can remember seeing the flyers and the donation box by the door. I was saving stamps for a new basketball and I got a major guilt trip laid on me by my mother because I didnt want to bring my stamps back and donate them to the sisters cause. the stamps that I was saving was Top Value so I imagine thats what they were collecting. Thanks for the memory jog.
Dan-O 42 posts Sep 09, 2009 11:24 AM	Riverdale Rat: That is so cool! It's nice to hear from someone who has a shared memory from childhood, all those years ago. Sorry to hear about the guilt trip that your mother laid on you, but, of course, that's one of the things that mothers are so good at. Yeah, Corpus Christi (which is located at the intersection of Forest and Homewood Avenues) was (and presumably still is) a pretty church, especially when the ivy was growing on it. It had sort of a Spanish-mission look.
RIVERDALE RAT 222 posts Sep 09, 2009 6:15 PM	Dan-Q: Yes, the church always did kinda remind me of a old spanish mission. I hear they have torn down or are planning to tear down Julienne, is this true ? If it is true it's criminal. thats a beautiful school.
dquartz 106 posts Sep 09, 2009 7:36 PM	i thunk i read an article that said they have already torn down Julienne.
RIVERDALE RAT 227 posts Sep 09, 2009 10:44 PM	dquartz: where do you thunk you may have seen that article ? I would like to read it. I seen an article about a group that was working to preserve it but I dont know how old the article was or if they failed. Still dying to find somebody besides me that remembers Gold Bond Trading Stamps.
Dan-O 43 posts Sep 10, 2009 6:37 AM	Riverdale Rat: I agree with you about the old Julienne High School building. I don’t think it’s been torn down yet. As I understand it, the City wants to demolish it because it’s allegedly outmoded and would cost too much to renovate and maintain, but there is a neighborhood association and some Julienne alumnae who are working to preserve the building. I hope they succeed. When I was growing up, we lived at 234 Kenwood Avenue, less than a block away from Julienne. I remember seeing groups of Julienne girls pass our house, in their school uniforms, laughing and chattering away while walking home or to the bus stop after school. They seemed so old to me then. I also took piano lessons for several years from a nun at Julienne whose name escapes me now. Since I went to Corpus Christi grade school, the vast majority of my female classmates ended up going to Julienne, and in high school (Chaminade, class of 1970), I dated several girls from Julienne. Fond memories....
RIVERDALE RAT 234 posts Sep 10, 2009 5:10 PM	Dan-Q: I truly hope they succeed in saving it. I remember seeing all the Julienne girls on the Five Oaks bus in the evening. if memory serves they wore Navy Blue and White. (not sure) Chaminade was the school where the boys went. I remember it well down on South Ludlow with the Catholic Church across the street. the old Ohio Bus Lines yard sat just to the west of the school. I still remember the Green and White Chaminade jackets with Chaminade written across the back in white letters. thanks for bringing back all those memories.
Steve K 103 posts Sep 10, 2009 7:15 PM	Haven't seen them in a while, but I've got a plastic bag full of either Top Value stamps or S&H green stamps, mostly in books. Too late to cash them in, maybe I can sell them on ebay .
RIVERDALE RAT 240 posts Sep 10, 2009 7:20 PM	SteveK: I would think that they are probably worth sometjing to a collector. I would immagine they will be more valuable as time goes on. I would hold on to some of them.
dquartz 117 posts Sep 10, 2009 8:35 PM	hey guys i found this great link on trading stamps it has pictures and everything. check it out. http://www.studioz7.com/stamps1.shtml
RIVERDALE RAT 244 posts Sep 12, 2009 12:04 AM	dquartz: That was a good link. brought back a lot of memories. Thanks.
newsnot 108 posts Sep 12, 2009 4:13 AM	dquartz, i remember king korn stamps but cannot remember who gave them. could it have been liberal markets?
RIVERDALE RAT 249 posts Sep 12, 2009 5:08 AM	newsnot: I still dont remember Liberal giving out stamps, but if they did it probably was KIng Korn, that would explain my not remembering because I never collected them. I dont even recall where they may have had a redemption center.
RIVERDALE RAT 275 posts Sep 14, 2009 12:08 AM	newsnot: I just seen a post over on another thread where somebody was saying that Liberal gave Top Value stamps. I still dont remember Liberal ever having anything to do with Top Value, I wish somebody could solve this, it's starting to drive me nut's
dquartz 172 posts Sep 14, 2009 6:26 PM	guys, i just read a post over on the liberal market thread where one guy swears they gave top value. i guess the truth is i honestly dont remember. maybe some emoloyee will bop on here one day and solve the mystery for us.
RIVERDALE RAT 290 posts Sep 14, 2009 11:31 PM	Dan-O: Did I understand you to say that Girls are going to Chaminade now ?? dquartz: I already posted that, are you awake ? (just joking)
dquartz 179 posts Sep 15, 2009 12:04 AM	riverdale...sorry i posted before reading lol. i have started a seperate thread trying to find someone that can put this question to rest for us once and for all. i really didnt want to do it because we already have a good thread going about liberal markets but it seems like we still cant find anybody that knows the answer to this one question for sure. liberal history is not complete without this answer...lol. you guys all owe me a barnbuster if this works.
RIVERDALE RAT 306 posts Sep 16, 2009 9:23 AM	dquartz: if you cand find them I will buy all you can eat. No answers on the Liberal post yet. this means I am right, No stamps at Liberal...lol
rfk61 60 posts Sep 16, 2009 10:09 AM	dquartz...I wish we could buy you a barnbuster, that would mean that Red Barn was still around!!
rfk61 62 posts Sep 16, 2009 12:47 PM	I have a Top Value Stamps gift catalog from 1974 that I got at a yard sale last year. I collect alot of kitschy stuff from the 60s & 70s and I saw it at a yard sale and picked it up. Pretty fun to look at. I also have some old Christmas catalogs from JC Penney and Sears.
RIVERDALE RAT 308 posts Sep 16, 2009 1:16 PM	rfk61: Thats a good find. somebody posted on another thread a while back saying they had a plastic bag full of some kind of stamps but I forget who or what kind ?
Bigmo 13 posts Sep 18, 2009 7:40 AM	The Top Value catalogs used to each feature a Norman Rockwell painting that he painted specifically for Top Value. His originals used to hang in the corporate headquarters building at 3085 Woodman Drive where I worked from 1972 to 77. I wonder what became of the paintings after the company dissolved.
dquartz 198 posts Sep 18, 2009 9:42 PM	i remember a deli that i bet nobody remembers. it was downtown on main street, just a few doors south of 3rd. they had the best tasting sandwiches of any deli that i can remember having ever been in. i think they opened around 65 or 66. cant quite remember the name of it though, maybe it will come to me later. it was a man and his wife who owned/ran it as i remember.
RIVERDALE RAT 327 posts Sep 19, 2009 1:04 AM	dquartz: If you are talking about the one on the West side of Main Street across from Beermans, I remember it well. it had the deli case in the front and seating towards the rear with some limited seating along the North wall. they had some of the best Corned Beef and Pastrami in town. if memory serves it was named Knoll's (or something like that)
dquartz 208 posts Sep 19, 2009 3:06 PM	riverdale...that is the exaact one that iam talking about. i didnt think anybody except me remembered that place. my mom used to go there for the chicken salad.
dquartz 222 posts Sep 20, 2009 10:26 PM	does anybody remember the old goodys tavern on warren ave at burns st ? i just checked out the area with street view and i see the building is still standing they even have the sign still up. is this place still open ?
Bigmo 14 posts Sep 21, 2009 11:11 AM	Riverdale Rat, I don't know if Liberal gave Top Value stamps. I never shopped there. Kroger may have had an exclusive in the Dayton area. Does anyone remember the Toys Internationale store at the Dayton Mall? That was owned by Top Value. There were also stores at Kings Island and Kings Dominion in Virginia.
smurfnana 20 posts Sep 21, 2009 7:27 PM	Liberals gave King Korn stamps, and most gas stations gave Top Value. My uncle was top buyer for Top Value, and he used to give us promotional toys he would get. When my son was born, my mother in law took her Top Value stamps and bought him a monkey holding a banana. He named him Sammy, and kept him for years. When he was 16, his scout troop took a trip to the Yorktown, and Sammy went along. I think his wife got rid of it a few years ago.
RIVERDALE RAT 347 posts Sep 21, 2009 7:37 PM	smurfnana: Thanks for the info on the King Korn stamps. there's several of us that have been trying to figure out if liberal gave stamps at all and if so, which kind. I dont remember them giving stamps but I never collected King Korn so thats probably why I dont remember. dquartz, has a seperate thread somewhere on the board trying to get an answer to this question and apparently nobody knew for sure.
corvettes6 50 posts Sep 21, 2009 9:07 PM	dquartz the old Goodys is a vacant lot owned by MVH I would be interested if anyone has any pictures ect from the old Goodys A friend of mine has all the inside Bar and furniture as well as the outside sign and is looking for information
RIVERDALE RAT 355 posts Sep 22, 2009 10:10 PM	I also remember seeing them and whats weird is, I almost never went around the Dayton Mall. must have seen the one at Kings Island.
RIVERDALE RAT 356 posts Sep 22, 2009 10:15 PM	corvettes6: I remember seeing Goody's Tavern not too long ago on a Google search somewhere. I cant remember exactly where the original one was, or if the one I seen was in the same place but the building stirred some memories with the old Yellow brick front and red sign letters.

dquartz 225 posts Sep 22, 2009 10:54 PM	corvettes6/riverdale...it is on the northeast corner of warren and burns.
RIVERDALE RAT 363 posts Sep 23, 2009 8:05 PM	dquartz: Thats the one I remember seeing a few weeks ago, still say it looks the same as the old Goodys.
corvettes6 51 posts Sep 23, 2009 8:33 PM	Better check guys vacant lot since spring MVH leveled it
dquartz 233 posts Sep 24, 2009 7:34 PM	corvettes6...ok, i was in hopes that i had found something that survived the wrecking ball. guess my google street view is a little outdated. maybe MVH will stop building when the reach the shiloh city limits.
Becky73 153 posts Sep 24, 2009 9:17 PM	To the best of my knowledge, which includes most of the 1960's, Liberal did not give out stamps. I remember mostly the Top Value stamps and the redemption center in Forest Park. Would love to see that catalog someone found. My best friends Mother decorated her house totally with Top Value stamp stuff. That is where my luggage came from - olive green. So cool.
RIVERDALE RAT 369 posts Sep 25, 2009 6:19 PM	Becky73: Thats exactly the same way I remember it but several posters have sworn that Liberal Gave King Korn Stamps. I wouldnt have remembered King Korn because I was a Top Value nut as a kid. I used to hang around a Marathon station and run errands for the guy's and they would save all the stamps that the customers didnt want or forgot and give them to me. in between that and Krogers I had a closet full of neat stuff courtesy of Top Value. I always went to the redemption center in Forrest Park as well because it was an easy access from the # 7 Trolley. Last Edited by on Sep 26, 2009 5:00 PM
Becky73 155 posts Sep 26, 2009 1:30 PM	If Liberal did give out King Korn stamps, they must have discontinued it at some point way before Top Value. I also remember gas stations giving out Top Value stamps. When I was a teenager and driving a hot red Cutlass, the guys at the station thought they could get points with me by giving me more stamps then was allowed. Didn't work, but I appreciated the luggage.
