Wishbooks from the past......

I found this site with Sears Wishbooks, Montgomery Ward Catalogs and several others. The fashion pages are great for looking at silhouettes and styles. I fell in love with the shoe pages in the war time catalogs.

GREAT site! They apparently want to eventually scan every catalogue ever made....

What a great site and such a labor of love!

I go there for a bit every couple of days to look at the lingerie styles, the shoes of course and now I've been looking at the menswear. This just makes me wish I had a time machine so I could go back and buy a bunch of stuff and bring it to the future.

Thank you for passing that along! What a great site! Brings back a wonderful memory of browsing the J.C. Penney catalog when I was little. I think we got them twice a year. They were enormous catalogs, as big a phone book, and I would spend hours "shopping" everything from fashion to furniture. Ah...good memories!
