The Sears Catalog - Sandburg's Hometown - by Barbara Schock - 24 August 2020
By A Mystery Man Writer
Description
We don’t know if the Sandburg family ever ordered any merchandise from the catalog of the Sears, Roebuck and Company. In his reminiscence, ALWAYS THE YOUNG STRANGERS, Carl Sandburg wrote that by the late 1890s the family was finally achieving the income of a middle class life.
