When I was young, it was Sears and Roebucks and Montgomery Wards catalogs or nothing for a while. No Farah Fawcett posters for us. :)
BTW 7-11 type convenience stores were just a new unproven store concept then and didn’t have any magazines, only newspapers. Later when we were older and they started to carry men’s adventure magazines with the racy covers, we discovered the Pinup and Playboy magazines placed next to them on the magazine racks/stand.
Didn’t cost any money to browse but we were asked to leave on more than one occasion. Some stores even removed them and put them behind the counter because of parental disapproval and theft.
BTW, mama didn’t allow no “men’s” magazines in the house.
Two words.
Sears Catalogue.
