SEARS
It may not be possible for the whippersnappers to understand just how Great & Powerful SEARS was in the 50's.
I've had a couple of battles with them but mostly good memories.

You could even buy a barn from Sears and Roebuck catalog back in the day. The one in Newark Valley is gone now. For a sense of the direction of things there are more mountain lions than Sears barns in the valley today.

I knew a guy in High School whose family refused to get a tv. So he would walk over to Sears every day after school and watch TV in Sears for a hour or so. Catch his favorite afternoon shows. Probably Six Million Dollar Man reruns or something.

The quite a few Sears Houses are still standing here in Oregon,

A friend of mine lives in a SEARS kit house. When you walk down the basement steps you can the model number and name, return address etc. inked onto the back of the stair risers.

these are from 1901-05 but they sold houses until 1940. The ones with two prices are, 1-the necessary lumber and 2- with the lumber cut and fitted which save labor and shipping weight.

Oh, the yearly arrival of the Wishbook!
I get sad when I go to the Abington Target, because I remember where particularly important sections (toys and records) were. But then I see the cart escalator, and I am amused again. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
