You may not remember him, but Ollie Fretter was the king of appliances back before the "big box" stores took over.
Fretter v. Highland Appliance was the big time - I remember an RA in college walking back and forth between the two with competitive quotes for his stereo rig until one of them couldn't beat the other and sent him back across the street to make his purchase.
Thanks for the memories (and the first colour TV we bought to outfit the library at Bob).
In honour of the "I'll give you five pounds of coffee if I can't beat your best deal" tagline:
