Let’s go back to about 1973 and see what’s on the shelves for Christmas in this White Stores Inc. advertisement.
White’s was a Wichita Falls-based retail store that sold auto parts, furniture, toys and appliances. Nothing high-end or expensive, but if you needed to furnish your new ranch-style house, chances are there was a White’s in your neighborhood that had what you needed.
