This is a multi-line catalog (like Sears) which rural retail stores maintained in place of an exhaustive inventory of cloths, toys, sporting goods, household items, furniture, small appliances, jewelry, etc. Customers could order items from the catalog (which has retail prices) only through their local store; the store was then charged the wholesale price and the items would be shipped directly to the store for customer pick-up. Condition: In good vintage preowned condition. Some creases on the covers. No noted missing pages or writing on the pages when flipping through. Some warping to the covers and chipping of the edges of the pages, especially the upper right corner for the first 100 pages or so. Some pages have tears or chips on the edges, but many pages are crisp and in excellent vintage condition. See all pictures.
