Sheila Neat adds more memories of Sears to Carol's article

Sheila A. Neat

After reading Ms. Perkins article it made me think back when we were cleaning out my Granny Grant's house we ran across two of her catalogs, one dated 1953, a year before I was born, LOL.

I'm sending you some pics out of it. Thought you all might enjoy seeing some of our old memories.



You could order milking machines to baby chickens and everything you needed to take care of them as well.

Thanks for sharing the memories.

Carol Perkins wrote about Sears in the face of the current news, "The end of something that once was larger than life is sad and brings moments of nostalgia. The hundred and ten year old company gave hope for boys and girls for new leather shoes for winter, heavy coats, and boots. Women yearned for store-bought dresses in the latest style, but most patterned their own after the latest fashion in Sears using fabric from the local general store. Sears back then was the Amazon of today."
