The New Game of Courtship or Matrimony

J.L. Aranguren.  Human Communication.  McGraw-Hill Book Co., 1967.
Note that this game was carried by A.W. Gamage Ltd. of Holborn, London, England.  This was a fore-runner of the department store, which Gamage later called the "People's Popular Emporium."  The store lasted from 1878 to 1972.  You could buy cars, motorcycles and even aircraft there!  It sounds like it would have been a hoot to visit in its day.  See A.W. Gamage Ltd.

Sounds like Sears and Roebuck, although I don't think that they ever sold aircraft.

RIP Sears. And Gamage's. Different times.
