and hired a matchmaker by the
name of Alvah C. Roebuck. an
Indiana farm boy, to work with
him.
The two soon formed what
was to become one of the worlds
best-known business partner
ships-Sears and Roebuck.
Just before the turn of the
century. Mr.. Roebuck's health
failed and he resigned from the
company. julius Rosenwald, a
Chicago clothing manufacturer,
bought an interest in the firm.
Young Sears promotional
genius matched the proven BUSH
ness acumen of Mr.. Rosenwald.
BY the time Mr.. Sears retired
in 1902-still a young mantle
company was doing $50 million
worth Of business a year and had
established branch mail order
plant in Dallas, Tex.
Retail Experiment
The first venture into the
retail store field came in 1925.
1t was a personal project of
Gen. Robert E. Wood. then a
vice president and later to be-
come chairman of the board.
who saw the experimental store
opened in a corner of the huge
mail order plant on Chicago's
West Side.
The retail store was an i'm
mediate success and the COM
pany quickly expanded on the
idea. During a 12-month period
in 1928 and 1929. the company
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-09-05

opened stores throughout the
United States at rate of one
every two business days.
BY 1888, the 8-year-old retail
branch had passed the mail
order division in total sales. To-
day, more than two-thirds Of
the company'S volume repre-
sentS retail sales, although the
firm is doing one of the largest
mail order businesses in its his
tory. Within the United States.
Sears has IL mail order plants
and more than 700 retail stores.
In 1912, Sears began a pro-
gram of international expan-
sion. 1t opened stores in Cuba,
Mexico, Brazil, Venezuela, Co.
lombia and Peru. Its Latin
American investment now ex-
ceds $50 million.
A year ago, Sears entered the
Australian retail market. buying
a large stock interest in Waltons.
Ltd. of Sydney, which operates
% retail stores in Australia.
Changing its name to Waltons-
Sears, Ltd, the Australian firm
Immediately began an expansion
program, using Sears merchan-
dising and operating techniques.
Today. Sears, Roebuck 81 Co.
serves millions of customers in
nine countries on three CONT

an outlet for more than So bill

PrOfit-Sharing Plan
Sears officers point out that
the firms employees were among
the first in America to enjoy
Ia profit-sharing program. At the
end of last year. 1851 employees
in Sears Washington stores had
an investment value in profit
sharing Of $5.269,505 against
their own deposits of $1,019,0
New employees of the Southeast
store can join the plan at the
end of one years service.
AS do other Sears stores, the
new branch will carry Sears
own brands of merchandise, in
GLIDING such names as Coldspot,
Kenmore, Craftsman, Kerry
brooke, Maid of Honor, Honey
Isuckle and others.
The plans for the new build
ing were drawn by Ballinger
Architects and Engineers Of
Philadelphia. Construction was
by Irons & Reynolds of WASH
|ington.
The general manager Of the
new store is Robert H. Glen
nan, 47-year-old native Of
Newark, Ohio, who has been
with Sears since 1892. Mr.. Glen
nan now lives with his wife and
two children at 5414 Twenty
fourth avenue Sc. He has
served previously as manager Of
stores in Clearfield, Pa. Union
town, Pa, Parkersburg, West
Va, and Binghamton, NY. His
last post was assistant manager

Ilogues make one Of the most
useful, accurate. and at the
same time fascinating records
available of the living standards
Of the American people from the
gay COS to the present." Other
microfilmed sets went to various
public and college libraries.
In Washington, Sears opened
its first store, the Bladensburg
road branch, in 1929. Several
smaller stores were opened and
later closed.
The store on Wisconsin ave-
nue. was opened in 1941; Airing
ton was opened in 1912 and
earlier this year was enlarged to
more than twice its original
floor space; Silver Spring was
opened in 1949. The present
warehouse at $500 v street NE
was built in 1851 and is now
being doubled in floor space.

The latest chapter was the

many of the city's business and

Auto Service

more than 400 cars a day. Mex

Guest Of honor was 1t. Gen.

success. We remember Paul
inc Trigere telling us years
ago that she adored designing
capes for her collections. No
body ever bought them so she
always wound up wearing
them in her own personal
wardrobe.
The most striking Lesser
capes are in fabulous-surfaced
cashmere coatings. A burgan-
dy red and natural double
faced cashmer hood cape has a
huge ruff of natural badger
fur edging the hood. Little
Red Riding Hood never had
anything so glamorous.
Fluffy Fox
Running second in the head
line contest are her Britina
suspender-line arrangement of
fluffy fox bands held by a
high-placed belt. On wool
dresses or evening gowns it's
lush looking.
For the casual girls-Tina
comes up with blue jeans in
pink satin just for fun.
Also cobbler's apron inspired
blue silk dresses. Spanish
Shawls look like fun. And
from Lesser, too, come CASH
mere blouses to team with
filmy silk chiffon skirts.
Washable leather Lederhosen
are suggestions for the college
girls. Losers cowl-back skirt
is shown in three lengths and
it's a silhouette treatment that
is very novel.
Released Line
Harry Frechtel has also re-
leased the line of his suits.
Belts help to raise the waist
lines on many jackets, and
many have a natural waist
line emphasized by a wide
leather belt. Vibrant reds star
in his coats and our favorites
are the Edwardian-type double
breasted dandy variety. Little
fur collars spark many suits.
For festive occasions jot down
this note: Black silk satin,
black velvet, and black broad
cloth win hands down. These
are the so disable wardrobe
ideas for dinner, theater. at
tending weddings, etc. Some
are the dress and jacket type
others the skirt and jacket.
Coat hit here is Janus" a
regal gold fleece double
breasted coat with identical
buttoning front and back.
Simplicity you might ex-
pect might be hard to find in

dren. If you plan to forego ma
ternity in favor Of your ca
reer, it is probably that both
you and your husband will
some day be very much dis
satisfied. Apart from that, here
are five important points that
you should bear in mind:
l. You'll have to reduce
home responsibilities to min
imum. I have seen too many
women work hard all the week
and then get up at S o'clock
Sunday morning to spend the
day doing the family washing
and ironing. Don't try to keep
up a large place. Get many of
your meals out. Have help in
the home for cleaning.
