Anything could be bought from a Sears catalog. Kitchen tables, lamps, clothes, dishes, stoves, mantels – everything you could ever need. You could even buy your house from Sears.

Imagine paging through the Sears Modern Home catalog and deciding on a home. You decide on all the options and place your order. Soon your home arrives, box by box. The needed lumber is cut and ready to create your home. The doors, windows, trim and everything you need to build your home has arrived – all 12,000 pieces in one box car. Now the work begins to put the house together.
