Sears failed to embrace The Internet as other retailers did early on. Sears management failed to get people to find a good reason to visit the brick and mortar stores. It's a real shame because it was a place the whole family looked forward to go shopping when I was a kid. I got my own set of
Craftsman mechanics tools when I was a teen. My family had a charge account at Sears and we had all sorts products from Sears. The Sears catalog weighed a ton and was something I spent a lot of time perusing. I hate to see Sears sink. (^_^

The Sears catalog was a major supplier of toilet paper in many outhouses
in its day! [g]

It was a major scandal for young men to wipe their backsides with pages from the women's lingerie section so those pages were often torn out before the old catalog appeared in the outhouse. ヽ(ヅ)ノ
