No matter where you go, it seems like Sears and JCPenney are always at the local mall. But have you ever wondered how they came to be? If you're like me, you have. I did some research found out there is a lot of historical information available online:
Sears Archive: www.searsarchives.com
There is a lot of information for the casual and ardent Sears fan at searsarchives.com. From general historical chronologies to the famed Sears Modern Homes kits to brand histories of such names as Kenmore and Craftsman, there's a little bit of everything here. The handful of pictures available are high quailty.
JCPenney History & Guiding Values: www.jcpenney.net/company/history/history.htm
Penney's website isn't as packed with extras, but the chronology listed is complete and well-written. There are also more pictures at Penney's than Sears.
