Alpo Posted May 4, 2024 Posted May 4, 2024 That "nickel plated three bar towel rack". I just bought one of them. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0014XTJ2W?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title It cost a little bit more than six cents, but this one's stainless. That thing underneath the upholstery tacks - that had me confused. I thought the c was an e, and was searching trying to figure out what the hell a mining knife was. And why they spelled it minEing. MinCing. Oh.

Crooked River Pete, SASS 43485 Posted May 5, 2024 Posted May 5, 2024 Sears invented the loss leader, sold stuff everybody needed at a loss. Once they figured out how easy it was they'd order bigger more expensive stuff. I have a bookcase/ writing desk, on the back is my grandfathers name and the town he lived in. At first I couldn't figure out why he wrote his address on his furniture, then realized it was probably Sears that did it when they shipped it to him.
