Wooden Yard Sticks
Does anyone else remember when they used to be handed out free as advertising pieces?
I just checked the Jo-Ann web site - they have two available - one for $4.99 and one for $6.99.

I have one 3 ft one and one 4 ft "yardstick" that were both freebies. I haven't seen any free yardsticks in ages.
However, one of our clients gave out plastic back scratchers last year. I hadn't seen those in years either.

It was a surprise to me how much they cost, when I told my daughter they used to be free at the hardware stores, even drug stores, you only paid for metal ones. (My dad had a couple of those, which I failed to take when we were cleaning out the house.)
Dime stores and fabric stores would give out thimbles with their names on it.
