Sears,
Roebuck and Co. History Sears, Roebuck and Co. has over a century
full of history and incredible achievements. In 1886, a Chicago
jewelry company shipped an order of gold filled watches to a Minneapolis
jewelry store. When the jewelry store refused delivery a station
agent by the name of Richard Sears decided to purchase the shipment
and try to sell them to other station agents. This proved to be
successful for Richard Sears, and in 1886, Richard Sears began
a company known as R.W. Sears Watch Company in Minneapolis. A
year later in 1887, Sears moved his new found business to Chicago,
and placed an advertisement in the newspaper for a watchmaker.
The ad received a response from an Indian man by the name of Alvah
C. Roebuck. Sears hired Roebuck and in 1893 the corporate name
of the firm became Sears, Roebuck and Co. Business turned out
to be very profitable for the company and in the 1890's the mail
order industry for Sears, Roebuck and Co. began to take-off. As
of 1895, Sears had introduced a mail order catalog that consisted
of 532 pages offering shoes, women's garments, wagons, fishing
tackle, stoves, furniture, saddles, bicycles, etc. that helped
customers in rural areas receive merchandise that they might not
be able to receive at local stores. In 1901, needing more financial
support, Sears for the first time offered common and preferred
stock in the open market and became publicly owned. In 1906, Sears
expanded and opened an office in the Dallas, Texas region, expansion
was beginning. In 1925 the opening of retail stores began, and
by the end of 1927 Sears had twenty- seven stores in operation,
and only one short year later in 1928 one hundred ninety two stores
were in operation. Once again, the expansion at least doubled
itself and Sears in 1929 was operating three hundred nineteen
stores and by 1933 four hundred were placed around the country.
