It looks like, barring a miracle, Sears will be closing. I am 61 and I don't remember a time without Sears. I grew up on a farm in a rural area so there was a lot of ordering from catalogs. I also remember their Christmas catalog. My ex was a mechanic and he got all of his tools from Sears because of their lifetime warranty. I was with him when he exchanged tools a few times and there was never a hassle. He would just give them the old one and they would hand him a new tool, no receipt, no hassle they just replaced the old one.
