This facsimile of the Sears, Roebuck and Co.'s 1945 Christmas edition offers a nostalgic look back at consumer goods of the era, from dolls and toy trains to housewares, clothing, furniture, candy, and a selection of gifts for the men and women just coming home from fighting in World War II. Also reproduced here is an insightful and spiritual poem, \"Christmas Peace,\" which the Sears marketing director included in the original mailing to commemorate the end of the war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486849133\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272","brand":"Sears Roebuck and Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40793410011317,"sku":"9780486849133","price":21.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_c57b0f94-7075-442f-af2b-7cc74312e4be.jpg?v=1629205045","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-1945-sears-christmas-book-9780486849133","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
