1914 Modern Homes Sears, Roebuck and Co. Chicago & Philadelphia This catalog is one of the rarest of the Sears Homes Catalogs, the last one issued with numbered houses. The next year's edition had names for each home. From 1908-1940, Sears, Roebuck and Company sold more than 100,000 homes through their mail-order Modern Homes program. A few weeks after the customer selected a home and placed the order, two railway boxcars containing 30,000 pieces of house - everything from doorknobs and carved staircases to varnish and roof shingles - would arrive at the nearest train depot. You might be living in one of these right now..... This CD includes One Hundred Thirty-Two (132) pages of American History. All these pages are scanned into .pdf files for viewing and/or printing from Windows or Macintosh systems. A copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader is included on every CD. Unlike inexpensive "Reprints", this Compact disk contains high resolution color images which faithfully depict the pages of the Original. p>
