Summary:  The Sears, Roebuck & Co. catalog was the Amazon.com of its day, giving families across the country access to thousands of items from clothing and furniture to buggies and hair tonic. Whether they could buy it or not, people would pour over the massive volume that represented an icon in American retail. It offers an amazing look at life in early twentieth-century America. As Sears, Roebuck & Co. grew from humble beginnings, it's catalog selection exploded to include all sorts of categories and encompassed almost everything imaginable. With merchandise ranging from ordinary to fantastical (and almost all of it priced at the pennies-on-the-dollar rate of the time), browsing through this vintage collection is sure to be an enjoyable experience. This is an abridgement of the original thousand-page 1908 edition of the Sears catalog. Other authors:  Lyons, Nick. Skyhorse Publishing.
