Step back into the roaring twenties with the iconic American retailer Sears, Roebuck and Co.
Sears began as a mail-order business in rural America in the nineteenth century. The convenience of ordering goods from the comfort of home made Sears a household name. This facsimile of the company's rare 1923 "The Thrift Book of a Nation" catalog, which embraced the aesthetic of quality and good value, offers a nostalgic look back at consumer goods during a nation's rising prosperity as it recovered from the devastation of World War I. The catalog features appliances, clothing, dry goods, guns, housewares, jewelry, toys, and even accessories for the latest technology: the automobile--gasoline engines, Model T fenders, and a garage to keep it in! A splendid sourcebook for antique collectors, historians, costume enthusiasts, and nostalgia lovers.
