It is a real hoot to look at! <br />Does anyone know if these old catalogs have any value?

I'll post some more from this catalog maybe later in the summer.

This catalog stuff is a real treasure chest for sure. I never much thought about how all these catalogs looked before it was really cost effective to photograph everything. I mean I've seen my share of woodcut Sears ads and stuff, but all this modern twentieth century depression-era styling is another thing entirely.<br /><br />This has probably been my favorite series on this blog so far, Karswell.

I'm glad you've enjoyed these posts, seems of the 3, the slips and bloomers post was the most commented on (scantily clad females will of course always be popular), and per your curiosity about the Chicago Mail Order Company, apparently they later became known as Aldens, and in the 1970s was sold to Wicks Lumber, who closed the company in 1982 (info from yahoo answers.)<br /><br />Thanks for the comment!Mr. Karswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15889717828895556186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136311233296776036.post-8193406821794986542011-06-01T08:46:17.137-05:002011-06-01T08:46:17.137-05:00What a beautiful old catalog!

Being a native of Chicago, I am now very curious about this mail order company as well.<br /><br />This has been a truly exceptional series of posts, Karswell, and I would love to see more. I'm very surprised this has not received more comments. Thank you!<br />JenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
