"Mr. R.W. Sears, President Sears, Roebuck & Co., at His Desk," 1906-1908
Add to SetSummary
Mail-order firm Sears, Roebuck, & Co. had become one of America's largest corporations by the early 1900s. Sears was particularly popular among rural Americans, as it offered better options, lower costs, and more efficient delivery methods than traditional general stores. This stereograph, one of a set of 50 sold through the Sears catalog beginning in 1908, offered a behind-the-scenes look at the company's operation.
