I never really thought much about why LA Surplus was named LA Surplus - it wasn't a store I really went into very much and it held no draw to me - but I know others really liked the place. Well, as you can see - it was first called - Linda Alan - The Surplus Store - so now you know where the LA part came from.
We used to shop LA Surplus for jeans ... and sold tee shirts to Marty. Great place. I thought it was named after Los Angeles for the style.

Loved this store, but what the heck does this ad say? If it doesn't EAT? Am I reading that correctly? :oD
ReplyDeleteI thought the same thing about 'eat' - doesn't make sense to me either - Lisa
ReplyDeleteWow! This solves one of the great mystery's of my youth in the '60s. I also thought it had something to do with Los Angeles. Went in there many times. Was Johnstowns top head shop. Also some great jeans.
