We always had the big 2 inch thick Sears, JC Penny's, and Wards catalogs laying around when I was a kid. Can't remember JC Penny or not but Sears and Wards had a big gun and hunting gear section in them. JC Penny's sold Marlin firearms under the "Foremost" brand name. All in all, just another "store brand" to them.

I used to own a house that was bought from the Sears catalog. Came on the train. “They don’t make them like that anymore”. And that’s a good thing! A Sears house coming up for auction locally on Dec 9th. A chance to own a piece of history...  ![[Linked Image from static.wixstatic.com]](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/ee0da2_8f5650346b05457ab01020bc840e8eb3~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_390,h_297,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/ee0da2_8f5650346b05457ab01020bc840e8eb3~mv2.jpg)

This area was settled starting in about 1905. There used to be quite a few Sears houses here.

Try wiping your butt with last year's computer. Or even an iPhone

Heck we loved the wishbooks from Sears, Penny's, and Montgomery Wards back in the 1960's and early 1970's. Guns, motorcycles, car engines, anything! Yep. As a child growing up in the 1960’s, we made our Christmas Wish List from the Sears catalog. Me and the little brother wore those catalogs out !
