Sears Catalogs From Days Of Yore: 1897

 


Bust cream or food for only $1.46? " unrivaled for developing the bust, arms and neck, making a plump, full, founded bosom, perfect neck and arms, a smooth skin which before was scrawny, flat and flabby." 





You could have your very own sewing machine for only $22.50! Note that it was a foot-powered model but it did come with a 10-year guarantee!



Only $39.90 for a Michigan A Grade Family Wagon.... "we must sell 1000 of these vehicles before the close of the season." And a 3% discount was offered if you pay in full with your order. Horses not included. 


"The Most Stylish Suit Ever Sold!" The dresser has a fancy pattern shaped mirror, 30x36 inches in size. All drawers are fitted with fancy brass handles. The bed stands 
6-feet high and 4'6" wide (full size today width is same), and is made from the choicest quarter-sawed oak. The footboard is one solid piece......  all three of these pieces, plus a washstand (not pictured) would set you back $59.00. Imagine!
