1897 Sears, Roebuck & Co. Catalogue: A Window to Turn-of-the-Century America

Printing quality not the best but an interesting read

Thousands of these catalogues went to isolated farms all over the US. So what you have is a very good idea of exactly what people were wearing and how they travelled at the turn of the last but one century. This is no dry history text book this is real life complete with the costings. This catalogue turned up in everyones mail box so you have here the products for the rich and the poor. Farm machinery, it is here, equipment for the baby, yes that is here too. Everything except food and drink. If you are working on a degree or 'A' level about the US at this time you really have to have this. This is the very first mail order catalogue. A very good price too.

Bought this for my Dad as he is so interested in things like this. He thought it was a great catalogue.
