Catalogs are usually printed on paper that comes from trees grown in tree farms for just this reason. Besides, catalogs are biodegradeable, computers aren't!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7427238665701917635.post-52901042348770516742011-08-29T13:14:08.208-07:002011-08-29T13:14:08.208-07:00I also just ordered a catalog.

I have surprised them often with something they mentioned they liked in a catalog I had laying around. It was also like that when I was a kid around Christmas time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7427238665701917635.post-77657413979816734952011-08-29T12:37:02.326-07:002011-08-29T12:37:02.326-07:00I really wished more of the companies would go bac...I really wished more of the companies would go back to the catalogs. I know I don't order as much when I have to look online. But give me a catalog and watch out!! Kudos to Ikea & Cabelas!

I had over 100 huge JC Penney catalogs and had them stacked in the back of my Explorer in delivery sequence when a deer jumped out in front of me. When I hit the brakes all the catalogs flew across the back of my car and out of order. I didn't know the route and had a terrible time trying to get all the catalogs back in order and delivered that day. Many of them went back to the PO and were delivered the next day. Everyone had told me I would probably cry in the first week as an RCA and that was my day to cry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
