Same story but with pencils. My sister and I were 6 years apart so we wouldn't have wanted the same things, but we sure enjoyed those  toy catalogs.

Besides the toy catalog, Sears had several specialty catalogs. I don't know about Wards.

Sears had a tools catalog, a farm catalog, a fashion catalog, and a number of others I cannot recall off hand.

In the mid-eighties, Sears had a bee keepers catalog.

I've got hives that were sold by sears and some of my tools are handtools sold by sears back in the 50's.  STill have a warranty on them.

Didn't you build your own hives?
