Sears, Roebuck and Company Bücher

Whether you need a new velocipede, a Nitro King Shotgun, a Vulcan Forge, a business wagon, a wood-fire cooking stove, a Turkish carpet, a high-grade violin, a Brand New House or just a pair of flannel long johns, this is the catalogue for you. Full size replica of the original, 8.38" x 11", 1185 pages, thousands of period illustrations, almost every conceivable period product. A fascinating time machine! - (HOWEVER, just a word of caution. The order feature on my copy appears to be compromised. Over four months ago I sent them the 14.95 for my new Red Head Elgin King Bicycle. My bike has still not arrived in the mail from Sears, Roebuck. IN FACT, Sears, Roebuck hasn't even sent me a purchase confirmation! Lesson The book may be great but do not expect the Sears, Roebuck orders from this catalogue to arrive in a timely manner.)

A facsimile edition of the 1902 catalog for the retail chain displays the manners, customs, necessities, luxuries, and cost of living of an America at the turn of the century through the products Americans bought.
