каталог "Сирса"
Один из крупнейших и наиболее популярных каталогов торговли по почте [mail order], несколько раз в год издававшийся компанией "Сирс, Роубак энд Ко." [Sears, Roebuck and Co.] в течение 100 лет с 1893. Предлагал широкий ассортимент товаров от хозяйственных мелочей и одежды до автомобилей. Пользовался огромной популярностью, особенно среди фермеров и жителей небольших городков, получил прозвище "Книга желаний" [Wish Book], также назывался "Большой книгой" ["The Big Book"]. С начала 1990-х фирма стала испытывать сложности в связи со снижением спроса на заказы по почте, каталог стал выходить меньшими тиражами, а весной 1993 вышел его последний номер.
