They had and did everything, you could even order a house!! It was a small house, a metal kit like an erector set, there’s a few still around in my area—I believe they had other types of homes too you’d be able to order.

Sears—they were Amazon before there was even a Amazon.

There’s a interview with Bezos, one of those programs I forget, he brought this up, that a company only lasts so long—and the interviewer said , so one day there won’t be a Amazon?? Bezos responded with. A most likely, some day no then added I hope so….then smiled

I loved Sears.  It was a success story.  I read an article the other day.  Roebuck was bought out early for peanuts.  He actually worked at the store years later and it wasn't an executive job.
