Western auto memories

We had one in Valley View Shopping Center in Candler, NC. It was kinda like an Ace Hardware is today, only better. My Dad was a licensed electrician and would go to Western Auto to get stuff on the weekends when the electric supply house was closed. I was just a little kid, but always helped him with side jobs. He had me convinced that I was the only one who could crawl under houses and work in creepy attics to pull and feed wire...lol. We were in Western Auto one Saturday to get some stuff, and I was looking at a purple 20" Buzz Bike with the banana seat and ape hangers while he was getting wire and boxes. I already had a bike and was only admiring it and never even thought about asking for it. My Dad walked over and said "Son, do you like that bike?" I said, "Yes sir, but I already have a bike and was just looking." He just smiled and said, "Wait here then and I'll be done in a minute." The bikes were right by the front door. A few minutes later he came back with all of his stuff and said "Boy, get your new bike and come on, we gotta get back to work." I just stood there stunned for a few seconds because we weren't rich and $30 was a lot of money for a bike when I already had one. Then he said "I bought the bike for you because you always work and help me. You never complain and all you get is a Coke and peanuts or a baloney sandwich your Mama packs for us. The bike is your pay for always helping me, so grab it and let's go." That was a good memory that I hadn't thought about in a long time.
I have a 30-30 rifle that is a Western Auto gun. I don't know if they were made by Marlin, Winchester or ? It's an old gun that just says Western Auto, but it's a good ol gun.
