“Perhaps he was looking for directions to a Sears store.”

- Is Sears still around?

A friend of mine told me Wal-Mart has competed away most other companies in their business.

Yes, Sears is still around. I don’t buy anything there since I got rid of the vacuum cleaner that needed “R” bags and “OO” belts - and anyway, I can order from Hoover.com with much less trouble - but someone must shop there for something.

Sears is still doing pretty well around these parts (northern New England). I’ll be getting myself a new lawnmower there in a few weeks.

Sears is still around. There was a time when Sears did not have as much competition but that was a long time ago. At Sears, one can still buy American-made tools. A lot of tools, even with an American brand name, are now made in China.
