Must be pretty old to be $.15. Sears used to sell everything at one time. Remember Montgomery Ward? My first sewing machine came from there.

Yes, I worked at Sears in 1970 and they still had a fabric dept. My whole paycheck stayed there sometimes. Of course, I was only part-time, but everything I bought was from Sears. Had my first credit card from them too. Those were the days.....

We use to purchase fabric and all sewing notions at Sears.

One of my favorite memories of Sears is their Candy Counter! I don't remember what I used to get but I remember my dad always got Maple Nut Goodies!

I used to buy sewing things from Sears and I remember when Penneys had sewing notions and fabric.

They sold everything the rural family needed. There is a Sears house just down the street from us.
Sears made his catalog smaller than Montgomery Ward's on purpose. When they were both on the table Sears would be on top. |
Did anybody have a G C Murphey's? I remember it was a big deal here in Ft Wayne. I would ride the bus with my mother and go downtown and we would shop Murphey's. First time I every rode an escalator! Murphey's had everything; my mother bought her fabric and sewing patterns there. I can remember just touching all the fabrics and wrapping myself up on them!!!

Back in the day , the only stores that had fabric around us , was Sears ( they also sold it through the catalog) JC Penney, Grants , Niesners and a bit at Woolworths.... were you could get a Patty Melt and a couple of yards of fabric ... does it get any better.
