Aw, c'mon. I said it was a poor illustration. Gimme a break. 
I didn't know what a K-Mart was until I lived in Kentucky. Never saw one before. Saw my first auto record payer there also. I guess 8 tracks knocked them out.
You must have lived in the sticks because Kmart wasn't even the most popular store in Kentucky. It was a Big K and it was taken over by Kmart. Woolworth's and Woolco were top stores also.
