    A Postmortem for Sears - Transcript

    A Postmortem for Sears - Transcript Tom Mullooly: In episode 123, we're going to do a postmortem on Sears Roebuck. Stick around. Welcome to the Mullooly Asset show. I'm your host, Tom Mullooly, and this is episode number 123. One, two, three red light. So today, the day that we're recording this, it looks like Sears Roebuck is going to ask the bankruptcy court to enter liquidation, and that's the end of Sears as we know it. So I thought it would be a good time to just kind of take a walk down memory lane. There's a lot of people in the media today who are comparing Amazon to Sears saying, "Hey, Sears was the Amazon of its day." And I just want to share a couple of things that I've learned over the years about Sears. It was started in 1886 as a mail order company. Richard Sears actually sold watches through a catalog that he put together. A year later, in 1887, he hires a guy named Alvah Roebuck to repair watches. So I guess they had problems with some of the watches that they were selling through their catalog. They then added jewelry, and the mail order business really took off. What helped them, a little bit of history for you, is that in the late 1880s, the US government started a program called rural free delivery, or RFD. Some of you are around my age may remember a TV show after Andy Griffith left. It was called Mayberry RFD, and everybody always wanted to know what RFD stood for.
