PSA: my grandma's 1954 Sears catalog order form taught me more than any history class
I finally went through the box of catalogs my grandma left me and saw she ordered the same $2.98 house dress in three colors. It hit me that these catalogs were basically the internet of their day, with everything delivered right to a rural mailbox in Nebraska. Has anyone else noticed their relatives circling items in old catalogs like it was online shopping?
