Hello All,

Thanks, Tom, for sharing this video about Rosemary Thornton, better
known as the Sears Lady.

From KETC, LIVING ST. LOUIS Producer Anne-Marie Berger takes a look at
the history of Sears homes, ready-to-assemble houses available nearly
100 years ago in the Sears Roebuck catalogue. In 1908, these kit homes
were offered in 370 styles and ranged in price from $50 to $5000.
Families who selected a Sears home saved 1/3 the price it would cost to
buy an already assembled, or 'normal', house.
