About five years ago I mentioned a gadget I had bought at a local Radio
Shack store to a lady in England.She said the Radio Shack stores in
England are called Tandy stores.There is or used to be a Tandy Leather
store here in Jackson at the old Zayre shopping center on Terry Road.I
haven't been out that way in quite a while,so I don't know if the store
is still there or not.Let me check my phone book right quick,,,,,,,,, I
don't see the store listed in my phone book,so I guess it isn't there
anymore.Didn't Tandy Leather used to have something to do with the Tandy
electronics stores? I could be mistaken though.

Tandy started as the leather company. In the sixties, they had comic
books about leather, the same way that Radio Shack had comics about
electronics.

Tandy bought Radio Shack, which had been a regional chain of electronic
stores in the Boston region, in the early sixties, and turned it into
the widespread chain we know today.

It's been a long time since I've seen mention of Tandy Leather, so I
wonder if it even exists anymore.
