<p>I came across this link about a 1971 Sears catalog someone found at an estate sale. The site is kind of slow and the commentary isn't very funny, but I thought it would bring back memories of Tough Skins and The Winnie the Pooh collection for some of our older members.</p><p><a target="_self" href="http://www.aperfectworld.org/sears.htm">Embrace the past!</a> </p>

This is all impossible. My bible says that Sears is only 31 years old.
