However, it is curious that we started with catalogue sales and have come full circle to effectively catalogue sales via the internet.

And how many here remember the Sears Roebuck catalogue? I've often wondered what Sears would be like today if they'd continued their catalogue business. Probably a lot better off than it is. They built their success with their catalogue and retail locations.

True. Their catalogue was called "The Dream Book" in the way back when.

Sears had a huge variety of items for sale including houses.
