Man, where do you come up w/ this stuff and why do you post when you
don't know a thing...a 2-second google would lead you to

http://www.sears.com/sr/misc/sears/a...vertical=SEARS

which chronicles that Sears was working as an agent for a midwestern
railroad and started out peddling watches to other station masters.
Hired a watchmaker by the name or Roebuck (w/ a nice handlebar mustache
and straight hair, btw) and they grew the business from there...
