I remember the incident in ’86 as I was living in El Paso at that time. It even made the local news.

@joeekaittis,  your post reminded me of Service Merchandise,  you took the ticket and waited in the delivery check out area.  In NOLA  we also had Leonard Krower,  that worked somewhat the same way, they were mostly a jewelry store.  Other Smalls are Knapp-Monarch,  Rival, Van Wyck,  Superlectric.  Riverside was a M. Wards brand,  my Dad loved their "snowtires" long b4 all-season radials were offered,  iirc, there was Wilson's that became Leonard Krower that became Service Merchandise.  alr

The '50 GMC was outfitted with Ward's Riverside tires well into the 1970's.  Thanks for reminding me, Tim!
