<div class="floatright">(http://www.marketingtactician.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/smart-store.jpg)</div><strong>S-Mart</strong><br/><br/>This time of year, the "Going Back to School" sale was still going strong, despite the inherent rage and agony which it incited in people of all age groups at the inherent disgust at such a wretched seasonal affectation when prisons were rebuilt and the lectures of cranky old women returned as a matter of course.  Although it was almost over, quite a few objects were having their advertising spun to alternate purposes.  Whiteboards were suggested, for example, as a way for a family to keep its chores straight and send messages to each other.  Chalk was advertised as well for coloring on sidewalks.<br/><br/>As the season grew cooler as well, the time for firewood was close at hand, with both vast quantities of wood in the back for fireplaces and axes of all shapes and sizes providing the proper occasion.<br/><br/>Summerwear was mostly gone, although a number of items still remained upon the finely-picked shelves, mostly skirts, T-shirts and heels.  Very little of what remained still even matched.
