Eaton’s Catalogue Order
A number of years ago an older gentlemen living in outport Newfoundland found it difficult to keep toilet paper on hand for his outhouse. With no car and the local store sold out he decided to call Eaton's Catalogue Order Office. When asked by the order desk sales clerk what he wanted to order he said "toilet paper!" She told him he just could call and ask for toilet paper and that he had to have the number next to the toilet paper in the Catalogue. He said, "my dear if I had the Eaton's Catalogue do you think I would be calling you for toilet paper for the outhouse!" Submitted By: Baine Andrews
