WHAT'S UP AT SEARS?

OR, Have You Seen Sears Lately?

The old Sears Catalogs have been a great source of material for the "Survey of the Decades Section" of this site; In fact, those old catalogs are a piece of your history, (assuming you are an American...if not, just pretend you are for a bit) and tell a great deal about our social customs and shopping habits over the years.

There was a time when the Sears Catalog was the only game in town for many people living in remote, small towns (or no towns for that matter!).

Like take me for example, growing up in Santa Barbara, California. We ordered everything from Sears, and I still remember picking out two pairs of plaid, denim, bell-bottom ToughSkins (Jeans, guaranteed not to rip at the knee). I climbed a lot of trees back then, and my ToughSkins were the only pants up to the job!

Therefore, it is only fair that I give Sears a plug and see where they are today (and so they don't come after me for using their catalog pictures).
So I officially dedicate this page to Sears!

Here's something new (November 2009) a Sears Christmas Club!

August 27, 2007 Sears launches a newly redesigned website. "Sears.com has made some exciting changes for a better user experience now and in anticipation of the holiday season."

It is summer 2007 and Sears is offering free shipping. It is also time for Sears to start getting ready for "Back to School", and so we find School Uniforms On Sale at Sears.com!

Sears is still the source
 for Winnie The Pooh!

And one could make the case that the Sears website (www.sears.com)
 has replaced the Sears Catalog!
