Description:"If all the records for the 1890's should be lost, a scholar in the remote future who stumbled upon this book could obtain a fairly accuate description of American life during the last decade of the nineteenth century. The items displayed represent artifacts people really wanted and bought. Sears Roebuck did not as a rule experiment with fads. Nevertheless, the catalogue does record technological advances, changes from earlier ways of living, but changes that were rapidly becoming engrained in the American life style. Hence, the panoramic view drawn from the Sears catalogue is revealing and valid. For this reason alone, this catalogue occupies a unique place as authentic Americana, a companion to the faded family album. Today we chuckle at the wordy descriptions and repetitious phrases, but in its day the catalogue earnestly-and I think sincerely-satisfied the ravenous appetite for detail that characterized the rural mail order customer. Although Sears' catalogues from the 1890's are now collector's items, millions of Americans once considered these crowded pages as required reading..."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
