Never read the book, but I've certainly read that phrase, pasted behind the counters of countless retail establishments. As far as "A Christmas Story", I can't believe that anyone hasn't seen it by now -- it's a treasure!
Shepherd, though much of his best work was "before my time" (I swear), I do know that he worked at numerous radio stations in Cincinnati that I grew up listening to: WCKY, WKRC, WSAI, WLW. He was evidently something of a latter-day Mark Twain, in his own way.
