Similar to Kenney, I remember when the Sears catalog was the go-to place for nearly everything. Haven't been to a Sears store in years. I realize that hindsight is 20/20 but it looks like they are a good example of what happens when complacency and poor strategic decision-making allows an established, respected business to be outpaced by competition. It's a supreme irony that Sears was the "mail order" king for close on a century, but decided to shut down it's catalog sales shortly before Amazon broke into the scene and is now headed toward controlling the entire retail market through "mail order" sales...
