I think that a Sears narrative that has been ignored is the role of the company in providing the first means to establish credit, through Sears credit cards, for folks first starting out.

Such an amazing thought to think homes were purchased and built this way. Not to mention that many are still standing today over 100 years later

Growing up in the 70's, when shopping malls were booming, our local Sears was busy. And they were amazing for a kid at Christmas! I looked forward to the holiday catalog every year, pen in hand to circle my wish list. Sad to see it go.
