In addition to national brands, Spokane had regional businesses and products that produced slogans and jingles for regional consumption. We've previously covered the Boyle Twins'

When you need coal or oil, call Boyle

and Sylan Furniture:

Television finally hit the Inland Empire by the time of our Rogers years, giving rise to specialized appliance stores having jingles such as:

Come into ElectroMart TV
ElectroMart TV
With two great stores to serve you well
the brands you want to see
Come into ElectroMart TV
ElectroMart today.

I recall this one – a voice booming:

Come to the General Store.

I see that the General Store still exists: http://www.generalstorespokane.com/ Those who complain that Spokane has changed should see it from the viewpoint of us exiles.
