Sears Honor Bilt Barn Plan Catalogs {1918 & 1924} On Cd For Sale
DESCRIPTION
A wonderful addition to your Sears collection, both the 1918 and the 1924 Sears Honor Bilt Barns Catalog, a total of 96 pages of
vintage barn history, also includes vintage pricelist.
Sears Catalog Homes (sold as Sears Modern Homes) were ready-to-assemble houses sold through mail order by Sears Roebuck and Company, an
American retailer. Over 70,000 of these were sold in North America between 1908 and 1940. Shipped via railroad boxcars, these kits included
all the materials needed to build an exceptionally sturdy and well designed house. Many were assembled by the new homeowner and friends,
relatives, and neighbors, in a fashion similar to the traditional barn-raisings of farming families.
Sears helped popularize the latest technology available to house buyers in the early part of the twentieth century. Central heating,
indoor plumbing, and electricity were all new developments in house design that "Modern Homes" incorporated, although not all of the houses
were designed with these conveniences. Central heating, for example, not only improved the livability of houses with little insulation but
also improved fire safety, a worry in an era when open flames threatened houses and even entire cities, as in the Great Chicago Fire (1871).
As demand decreased, Sears expanded the product line to feature houses that varied in expense to meet the budgets of various buyers.
Sears began offering financing plans in the 1920s. However, the company experienced steadily rising payment defaults throughout the Great
Depression, resulting in increasing strain for the catalog house program. Over the program's 32-year history, 447 different house models were
offered. The mortgage portion of the program was discontinued in 1934; the entire program ceased altogether in 1940.
We offer you both these wonderful catalogs to you on a beautiful Gift Quality CD.
