We sold Firestone tires, so we could order anything we needed thru the Firestone catalog -- my grandparents had an impressive Firestone Air Chief radio-phonograph in the living room, we rode Firestone bicycles, had a Firestone lawn mower, and at Christmas time always listened to Firestone holiday record albums.
There are a lot of auto-parts chains in the US today, but none of them seem to handle the range of full-service merchandise the Firestone, Western Auto, and B. F. Goodrich stores once did. Canada still has Canadian "Crappy" Tire, which is I guess the last surviving example of this type of chain.
