There were also Gold Bond Stamps, generally worth more in worthless swag 
than Green Stamps.   Plus you could get free roller skates selling 
garden seeds.

Last one of the free glasses I ran into was in the late 80's, most were 
football themed.   What is really valuable is the stuff from the early 
50s and back to true carnival glass.

I remember when you could get someone else to change your oil and filter 
for the price of the oil and filter.  Plus your oil and tires were 
checked for the price of the gas.  Busted headlights were replaced and 
adjusted for the price of the light. Wiper blades ditto.  Used to work 
part time at a station in the mid 60's in a small town where this was 
still available.   Pay not that much, but the discount on gas and the 
op****tunity to check out the seat covers while wa****ng their windows 
made up for it.
