Department store. They had a shopping catalogue and sometimes that was all a man had access to in the before-times.

Sears catalog was basically Amazon back in the day.

In my home town the older kids had a hang out in the woods. Dirty mags everywhere. No idea where they got them. But my friends and I made sure to sneak some when we got the chance
