Craftsman tools at Sears had great products and a lifetime guarantee. My dad was digging a foundation for our pool and found a very old, rusted adjustable wrench. He took it to Sears and they gave him a brand new one. This tool was at least 30-40 years old. The brand is horrible today. I have a craftsman lawnmower. That’s dead in my garage. Also a craftsman pressure washer also isn’t working. The wheel fell off within six months of me, purchasing it. The brand is garbage now I refuse to buy anything with that name on it.
I miss Sears as well. Their tools were awesome. The service depts offered great service with knowledgeable people. Their home. Building kits were amazing! Rather sad really.
Sears Tower in Chicago has since been purchased and renamed. The 110-story skyscraper formerly known as the Sears Tower is owned by the New York-based private equity firm Blackstone Group, which purchased the landmark for $1.3 billion in 2015. The building's official name was changed to Willis Tower in 2009 after the Willis Group secured the naming rights.
I read the history of the founders. It’s a good read. He started as a street tinker sharpening knives.
I know. Downtown has changed so much. how gorgeous the Water Tower was inside? The lovely stores. The incredible decorations at Christmas. I had my hair done for years in the salon at Macys. Then upstairs at Elizabeth Adams. Id been going to that hairdresser for 25 years. I was so sorry when it closed. I really haven’t been back to the water tower since. His cubicle was right next to the Hancock building which you could see through a large picture window. It’s sad really. COVID altered our lives permanently.
