I LOVED the Lafayette in Hamden, CT. It was the only place besides teh COlumbia Record Club that you could buy pre-recorded open reel tapes. Their catalogue kept me entertained as a kid for hours. I really wanted the $230 under-dash Norelco cassette tape recorder with included hand-held mic. It was 100x everything Radio Shack pretended to be.

The Lafayette catalog had just about everything you needed back in the 50's and 60's in the way of electronics.
They got a few coins from the old Cajun.
