I will always have fond memories of Sears because when I was growing up, that was the big store that had everything. Back in those days, you didn't just say Sears, you said Sears & Roebuck. They also used to ship these catalogs each year to pretty much every home in America that were the size of phone books. Which is amazing when you think about it. Every house in America! I also believe my very first credit card was a Sears card. I was about 20 years old when I got one and I used to feel like a big shot whipping it out as I purchased my Craftsman tools and Levis. I think I had a $250 limit on it but it seemed like a lot at the time.
Sears’ Wish Book was the high point of my kids’ Christmases-—many nice memories.
