Thanks for posting this and taking me back to my childhood in the late 50s and early 60s. My dad took me to the Allied store on Western Avenue in Chicago to buy tubes, meters and electrical components. I remember getting a radio kit the we built together - it was a Christmas gift. I flipped thru the 1960 catalog from your link. I remember being board when we went there - but it was big and always busy. too young and stupid to appreciate the time that was spent there - you post brought a smile to my face.
BTW, the building is still there. My son's business is nearby. When I pass by, I can't help recall the times my dad took me there.
