Another piece of my childhood

Hi guys,

I found this little goodie on YouTube this morning:

There was a Buster Brown store 2 blocks from me in NYC. Every year through grade school, they would show ads for the new shoes for back to school, and every year, my mom and I would go and buy whatever shoes I begged for. I had the Topsies in this ad. (I was in the 2nd grade).

Did any of you wear Buster Brown when you were kids?

I did there was a store where I lived in brooklyn...I'm flat footed and they carried shoes for that....always got my shoes there till they closed

Thats awesome! Brought back memories! What was inside that bag? What goodies? Toys?

I know there was a balloon, (but they gave you a balloon every time you bought kids shoes anyway). I can't remember what else was in that bag, but I know I had one.

I remember I got these tennis shows that were brown with blue suede with gold/brown laces. The store near us in Maryland usually had those little half-sheet sized rub-on transfers. One time it was like a generic street scene I do recall.
