I once went into an antique store in a small town that had a 
clerk who was also antique. I asked if they had any stereoview
cards - "Nope, we don't carry stereos". Then I asked "Stereopticans"
since that rings bells with some people. Same response. After about
5 minutes, I gave up.

Since then, I've carried a "trash" view around with me and just say,
"Do you have any of these?".
