I remember when BPS was 99% mail order. I'd get my annual catalog and it was like when I was 6 and Sears sent out the Xmas toy catalog. And the prices used to be super cheap compared to any sporting goods store. I really wish we still had real sporting goods stores, where empoyees knew what they were selling. Now all we have are "self-serve" stores. They're one step above Walmart, if you ask me.

I still have several Bagley Balsa B's that I ordered in the mid-70's when BPS was strictly mail order. BPS' origins were in Johnny Morris' dad's liqour store.
