And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
When CEO let stupid people run the show, first they get rid of the catalog and over time they started to delete items that were best sellers. Loved their paint dept. Painted the whole inside of the house with Sears paint. Brother purchased a whole house fan and it worked great, it sucked out all the hot air in the attic to make the entire house really comfortable. Yes, miss Sears, Woolworths and K-mart.
yeah. I still have and use tools I bought from them over 50 years ago now. Craftsman badged tools made of cast iron and they still work like they did when I bought them. might have replaced a motor or bearing in a few of them. but by and large, they stood the test and lasted. like my MOM told me many years ago "good tools are never a waste of your money as long as you care for them " well, I have and I still have them.
Ah! Bench seats!
