Whoops....I'm afraid you misunderstood. I take the blame, see I'm 71. I actually grew up next door to a neighbor who had an outhouse. And as kids we used it all the time. Back in the fifties and sixties ripping off a page in the sears catalog was a common occurrence in place of "toilet tissue"...at least in the country outhouses that were not uncommon in my neck of the woods. I assumed your Sears Catalog reference was that. I was not implying anything derogatory or inferring anything like it either. And just to max out this conversation.....guess where serious antique marble collectors go looking for hard to find specimens? Yep, sites of old outhouses where boys and their marbles were often parted from jean pockets when dropped to the floor.

I've found a few myself.
Best,
Steve
