Sears unveiled some surprises in its new "Wish Book." Its 1968 Christmas catalog, now being distributed to the first of 12 million families across the nation, introduces eight dream gifts, shown in contrast with related "down-to-earth" merchandise.

Jame W.

Button, senior vice president-merchandising, noted that Sears catalogs "came to be known as "Wish Books" at the turn of the century, when rural America shortened long winter evenings by wishing for things available only from the catalog." Sears 1968 Christmas book is the first to be labeled officially as the "Wish Book," he said. "The unique gifts help illustrate our two-fold 'Wish Book' concept imaginative products that dreams are made of, plus a fuH range of merchandise selected especially for its quality and price appeal."

"On account of the increased business in our bicycle suit department," it said, "we are in a position to show a much better line than heretofore. When making our selection we took great care that our customers should only get desirable goods." Sears bicycle suits in that year carried fancy names including "The Scorcher," "The Winner," "The Champion," and "The Flyer." Silk stockings first appeared in a catalog in 1912 with the stern admonition to purchasers to "treat them carefully." Pajamas first appeared for men only in 1899, found no takersand disappeared until 1908 when they returned to stay. Leafing through the catalogs of the Gay 90's, the reader will find celluloid collars, mourning handkerchiefs, Prince Albert suits, goat sulkies, bosom boards (used in ironing men's fancy shirts of that era) and a wide selection of ornate mustache cups. Because the catalogs accurately reflect the styles and furnishings popular through the years, they are used frequently by producers of Broadway shows and Hollywood movies. The Walt Disney studio is the proud owner of one of the most complete sets of catalogs on the West Coast, and often consults them "for correct costume of a certain year, for types of furniture used in various periods, for reference in assembling authentic period furnishings for Disneyland, and for ascentaining prices of merchandise in a certain period." If anyone wishes to trace the rise of the motor buggy and the decline of the horse-drawn buggy, he need look no further than the catalog.

Taking note of the "tin lizzie" for the first time, the 1894 catalog listed automobile caps and books. But the horse still ruled the roads, with the catalog devoting eight full pages to buggies and listing as well such items as buggy boots, bridles, cruppers, harness, tops and whips. By 1929 the tables had turned. The buggy offering was down to half a page, and disappeared entirely thereafter. The catalog index, at the same time, listed 266 separate items under auto acessories.

But the catalog is more than record of changes in American life. Even wars and depressions are reflected in its pages. Song hits scld by the Spring catalog cf 1918 included "It's a Long Way to Berlin," "Keep the Home Fires Burning" and "Good-Bye Broadway, Hello France." And in the Fall catalog cf 1942, the catalog announced that Sears subsidiary, Allstate Fire Insurance Company, sold "the new U.S. Government war damage insurance plan which protects homes and farms against war damage to enemy attack or resistance by U.S. Armed Forces." In 1943, the catalog proclaimed: "Silvertone radios have gone to war.

Tomorrow they will be back better than ever." For anyone who recalls the Great Depression of the 1930s, perhaps trie single most telling proof cf its effect appeared in the 1933 Sears catalog. For 87 cents it sold a book titled "Understanding the Stock Market." Called "a simple, yet thorough explanation cf how the mysterious stock market cr-era't-s," it had been marked down from 52.50. The fortunes and misfortunes of the United States and the changing ways of life since the 1880's are reflected in Sears "Wish Books." From a modest beginning in 1886, Sears grew in size and scope with a westward-expanding America. The catalog, or "Wish Book" as it was called, served isolated farm families and communities, bringing them goods unavailable in their own areas. The simple copy and clearly labeled instructions, the new product values and honest dealings championed by Richard W.

Sears and his "Big Books" created a revolution in the buying habits of rural America. Today, more than 12 million families across the nation use their Sears catalogs to order in one of 2,500 retail or catalog stores, by telephone or by mail. In addition to recording the changing scene in America, Sears catalogs represent the work and efforts of thousands of Americans. Edgar Rice Burroughs, author of the famed "Tarzan" series, at one time was a copywriter for Sears catalogs. Many movie stars and starlets at one point in their careers were models for the catalog.

Almost since they first appeared on the American scene in the late 1880's, the "Wish Books" have been considered an accurate reflection of events and the way people live. More than 100 libraries across the nation have a complete collection of Sears catalogs recorded on microfilm. These often are used by researchers to document American living standards from the Gay 90's to the present. Vithin months after destruction of the USS Maine in Havana Harbor in 1898, the catalog offered a complete "stereoptican lecture outfit" on that subject and the Cuban War, Two years later, the catalog was out with "Magic Lantern Slides" of "our new possessions" listing "Honolulu, the Philippines and Puerto Rico." In 1899, before the West was fully settled, the catalog said: "Cash In full must accompany all orders from points in Vashington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Nevada, Uuah, Arizona, New Mexico, Montana and Wyoming if you live in one of the ten states and territories named." But CCD. orders were accepted from the more settled Eastern states.

The Alaskan geld rush of the '93's, so celebrated in fact and fiction, did not escape Sears catalog copywriters, who in 1899 offered customers mining shoes called "The Klondike." Ten years later, in 1909, miners still were considered likely Sears customers as the company issued a catalog of special houses adapted to "Mining districts, western prairies, and mountain residences." Covered wagon covers, too, were found in the pages of early Sears catalogs. But so far as is known, the catalog never scld the wagons themselves, with which the West was settled. Sears catalog has long been acknowledged as a barometer cf fashion. With the popularity cf bicycle riding in the 1833's, for example, women needed specially tailored costumes to replace the trains which became entangled in the wheels. Reflecting this necessity, Soars early catalogs soli ladies' bicycle suits end skirts.
