[QUOTE="Forgalspop, post: 3664355, member: 46636"] When I was a kid all my clothes and shoes came from sears except the [B]ugly [/B]shirts my mother made for us herself. Every year right before school started we made a trip to sears for a pair of new shoes (singular) and few new clothes for the new school year. My mother was one of the most frugal persons you would ever meet. She would make a penny squeal by how hard she would pinch them. My parents grew up in the depression and never forgot. They lived to a ripe old age and had no debts and were able to leave a little for their children, grand children and charities. Their frugality paid off in the end I suppose. A memory I have from a kid, is the whole school the first week of a new school year, is the school smelled like Sears from all the kids wearing new unwashed clothes from Sears. Sears was the go-to place for many back then. Times change and Sears didn't keep up with the changing times. At one time they were the 800 pound gorilla of retail. [/QUOTE]
