Ooohh I remember that store.  In my neck of the woods (western Canada) they were
called "Consumers Distributing" (which is essentially what you've written in
French, I guess).  Their style of selling was to have no showroom whatsoever -
and you'd just order an item at the counter and they'd go to their warehouse and
pick up the item.

I always enjoyed looking at their catalogue, looking at all the new toys
(especially the LEGO sets)...

Taken from an old 1988 christmas catalog I dug from my parents' basement. The catalog is from a defunct canadian company (Distribution aux Consommateurs). Big, basic baby blocks. Interesting to note that Fisher Price had its own "Construx" line back (...) (20 years ago, 7-Jan-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
