I don't know about ya'll but I love seeing things from waaaaaaaaaaaaay back when. It totally fascinates me! It does my dad too, so when he this replica of one of the older Sears Roebuck Catalogues came into his possession he just had to show it to me.
We sat there going through page after page, just awed by what was in it and the price differences from then to now. If this doesn't show folks how worthless a dollar is now, in comparison, I don't know what would.

Well, I'm just gonna drop in some pics for you to enjoy.

Camping anyone?

Cupping...it wasn't just for the olympians and evidently, they were already making women worry over wrinkles before infomercials!
