I worked for your competitor, S. Klein, starting in the late 60s (from high school through most of engineering college). Was a cashier all over that store, but being assigned to the camera department provided most fun. And not just because of the "Magicube fights."In the suburban Washington DC are back in the 60's people would ask questions at EJ Korvettes where I sold cameras and then drive 30 or 40 miles to save $2 on a $150 camera.
Yes, the magical process that makes ILFORD film less expensive once it has crossed the Atlantic ocean.
Trivia: the E.J. Korvettes chain was started by eleven Jewish Korean veterans, thus its name.

To preclude any potential confusion, those founders were Jewish U.S. military veterans of this country's Korean police action / war, not American Jews of Korean ancestry.Cool!

Much more dangerous than Flashcube fights!"Magicube fights"?
Unlike conventional flash bulbs/cubes, which used cameras' battery power to set them off, Magicubes were fired by cameras releasing a spring-loaded flint-striking mechanism built into the cubes. Therefore, if crazy young employees opened packages of Magicubes and started throwing them around, hard surfaces would set off anywhere from one to four flashes upon impact. It made for wild "firefights" in the stockroom, out of customers' (and managers') view."Magicube fights"?

We understand the price of everything, and the value of almost nothing.

I stand corrected.Not true. EJ Korvettes was started in 1948 by a WW2 vet, Eugene Ferkauf, and his friend, Joe Zwillenberg. Korvettes was a take-off on the naval term "corvette" a sub-destroying destroyer...
