    The Sears Modern Homes catalog offered all the material and blueprints needed to build a house. The pieces were meant to fit together sort of like Legos, so buyers could build the houses themselves or hire contractors.https://n.pr/2J7Yecg

        Sears has so many memories. Before the internet we would sit down with dream catalogue and make up a Christmas list. I'll miss Sears.

        I remember flipping through the science toys section with such ~intense~ yearning. I WANTED that microscope with slides & mounting kit, but then there was this telescope and I surely would DIE if I didn’t get the chemistry kit with all those beakers/test tubes!

        NPR referring to them as “legos” instead of “lego bricks” legitimizes its use as proper for me. @GlynWolf

        I lived in a Sears Craftsman home for 20 years, built by my grandfather. Loved it. Except for really small closets from the ‘20’s!

        We highly valued their catalogues in our privys, till they went to the shinier glossy pages.
