  • Cover of a Sears & Roebuck Catalog from 1907

  • By 1894, the Sears catalog had grown to 322 pages, including many new items, such as sewing machines, bicycles, sporting goods and automobiles (later produced, from 1905 to 1915, by Lincoln Motor Car Works of Chicago [no relation to the current Ford line]).[20] By 1895, the company was producing a 532-page catalog. Sales were over $400,000 ($12 million in 2024 dollars) in 1893 and over $750,000 ($25 million in 2024 dollars) two years later.[21] By 1896, dolls, stoves, and groceries were added to the catalog.

Sears did not open a brick and mortar retail location until 1925.
