The 1897 Sears, Roebuck
and Co. Catalog
Recently my local historical society
had its annual yard sale. One of the
items I bought was a reprint of this
famous catalog. It was recreated by
Fred L. Israel of the City College of
New York. It is 786 pages long
(including the index). I have copies
some of the pages to give you an
indication of American life in these
times. I had fun putting this together
and I hope you do too!
(Only the cover is in color, all the other pages are
black and white)
