Sears (NYSE:SR&C), officially Sears, Roebuck and Co. is an American multinational department store retailer based out of Chicago, Illinois that boasts an annual revenue of over $200 billion and holds the status of the world's largest retailer – and the third-largest corporation in the world, behind only UGI and Bank One Corp., respectively. The famous Sears Catalog is widely viewed as a symbol of early/mid 20th century America, a symbol that continues strong to this day; most unique was the 1907 introduction of the Modern Homes catalog, whereby Americans could literally buy a mail-order house, complete with blueprints and buildings materials for either personal assembly, or for a few hundred dollars extra (an extra $1,000 minimum today), a crew of workers hired by Sears would build it.
