nov 12, 1966 - Black friday name is popular

Description:

The Black Friday name itself didn't become famous until 1966. That's when a story appeared in an ad in The American Philatelist, a stamp collectors' magazine. The Philadelphia Police Department used the name to describe the traffic jams and crowding in the downtown stores.
