Hey, maybe Sears will start selling houses again.
One of the great disappointments of my life was NOT being able to buy a Sears home (built in the 1930s) in our school district. It was YUGE (a Magnolia model!) and DH didn’t want a fixer upper & instead of our five children being raised on three large floors of a house we moved to a tiny split entry;’ then a smallish two story. I loved that Sears house when I walked thru it years ago it would have been my “forever home.”
Sears once sold its own brand of automobile, the Sears "Allstate." It was a rebadged version of the Henry J built by the Kaiser-Frazer Automobile company in the late 1940s/early 1950s.
