Sears relations with commu-
mites have changed since then,
especially since the retail stores
started to spread across the
country. Wherever feasible
now the company buys as close

diser scored its biggest mer-
chandiSing flops with motor
cars. It began to sell its own
brand of horseless carriage ir
1908, but quit in 1912. Again
in the early 1950s. Sears
brought out a car called the
Allstate, but dropped that, too
Sears tried groceries early in
the century, but no longer
stocks them in its own stores
"They don't fit into our mer-
chandising programs" a spokes-
man explained.
Retail Stores Set Up
Gen. Wood watched the
growth of hard roads, the in
crease in automobiles and the
flow Of people from farms to
cities. He began to open retail
stores in 1925.
Broadening of the sales base
has made a sharp change III
the nature of the trade. Today
about % per cent Of the sales
are from catalogs and n per
cent in stores.
In the expansion process
Sears entered Latin America In
1941.
Sears now has TAO retail
stores and 952 catalog sales
offices in the United States,
and 81 stores and o sales offices
In Latin America.
In the fiscal year that ended
January 81, the company's net
sales added UP to q record
$4,l34,S19,550. That placed It
second to the Great Atlantic &
Pacific Tea Co., with $780,
100000, in q recent ranking Of
retailers by the magazine Busi-
ness Week.
But most people, very prob
ably, find the catalogs more in
teresting than financial state
For the catalogs hold a
glass to the fashions, fads and
living Standards-and by skirt
and bathing suit dimensions,
perhaps, to the state of the
proprieties-from the gay nine
ties to the spatial sixties. For
that reason one movie studio,
Walt Disney Productions, keeps
q complete file on hand.
Prices AS BArometers
Prices also serve as economic
barometers. In the old days,
for example, mems suits sold
for 1895, a brass lamp for
$3.50, a "Stradivarius model
violin" for $6.10.
Some types Of goods offered
In the first general catalog in
1895 still are for sale, among
them jewelry, clothing, shoes,
sewing machines, saddles, guns,

.Kennedys
Ride in
Show
BY FRANCES LEVINE
Associated Press Writer


The whole family of At
torney General Robert Ken
nedy got up bright and early
and spent Sunday at the
Washington International
Horse Show. They watched
two Kennedy children show a
little gray pony named Atlas.
The Kennedy youngsters
didn't win any prizes in the
five pony classes they en-
tered, but everyone seemed to
have a good time.
Cabinet member Kennedy
read the Sunday newspapers
in the presidential box when
the two Oldest OF his seven
children were not in the ring.
He was on hand at 8 am,
looking a little sleepy as ne
sent Kathleen, 10, on her
way in the first class. 1t was
her first time in show COM
petition and Kathleen lost
her identifying number "78"
and had to ride without it.
Took Turns
Between them, Kennedy
and his wife, Ethel, who rode
in numerous shows before her
marriage, launched their
contestants. The two young
Sters took turns riding Atlas,
a perky 8-year-old gray
gelding, its name braided
with pink yarn for the occa-
sion.
They competed In five pony
classes against kids Of all
sizes and ages up to 10, in
cluding a moppet in pigtails
age 6.
Mrs. Kennedy patiently
coached 9-year-old Joseph on
how to traverse the course of
eight jumps in his first class.
But. alas, Joe took a wrong
fence and was eliminated.
Later, he blamed it on the
pony. reporting Il tried to
pull him over"
Young Joe says people
think his sister Kathleen rides
better than he does and he
was out to prove it.
He said he didn't mind
jumping before the matinee
crowd Of about 1000, but his
pony did.
The Kennedys have four
ponys and a regular horse
now at their Mclean, Va,
country home, and everybody
in the family. except the baby
who stayed home. are riders.
In Bright Green
Kennedy stood smiling in
the box and his wife, in a
bright green coat, leaned over
the rail as Kathleen made the
first showing Of Atlas at a
walk, trot and canter. The
little girl, in black bowler hat,
black coat and canary riding
breeches, smiled gaily every
time she passed them. The
results: She wasn't among
the winners.
