Going back in time
When I was a kid, one of the things we looked forward to was getting the new Eatons and Sears catalogs. Many hours were spent flipping through the pages, dreaming of being able to buy some of the stuff in there. For many years, the Eatons catalog was the only way people in rural areas could get a lot of their supplies, and the items listed reflected those diverse needs. Eatons stopped their catalog service in the 70's, if I remember correctly.
Going through this 1920-21 Eaton's Fall and Winter Catalogue is a fascinating glimpse back in time. Enjoy!
