Way up near the New York State-Canadian border in a town called Croghan sits a general store that’s up for sale. Unlike other general stores scattered around the country, the 135 year old E.M. Marilley and Co. hasn’t switched over to selling touristy junk and gourmet coffee to survive against the assault brought on by megamalls. In fact, their business philosophy pretty much runs counter to any profit making methods. Every item in the store stays on the store shelf until it’s sold.

Now if you can’t see yourself purchasing the store, perhaps you might be interested in laying down some hard cash for turtlenecks from the 1980 Winter Olympics. Or maybe the 95 percent polyester flare-leg jeans are more your style. Surely you will look stunning with a pair of rubber boots from B.F. Goodrich. Now that’s HOT!
