"I Remember Beaver Lumber" by the Allovers - a nice bit of nostalgia for (mostly) defunct consumer goods from an Albertan childhood, circa 1983 or so!

"Though its roots trace back to the rural prairies in 1883, Canada first met Beaver Lumber in 1906, when more than a dozen Saskatchewan and Manitoba were supply stores were renamed and rebranded. Nearly 70 years later, in 1972, Beaver Lumber was bought out by brewing giant Molson, who held the chain and its 130 stores for more than 25 years."
