Hello Everybody!... This is Forrest Flanders for OLD CATALOGS... This has been a long and tedious project, but now it's completed. For the past week, I've been working on a complete scan of the Eaton's 1917-1918 Fall/Winter catalog. It's a biggie and runs 529 pages!

Royal was based in Norwalk, Connecticut and were a mild "competitor" to the Johnson Smith & Co. novelty company, although their catalog and inventory could in no way compare... The catalog, though, is interesting because it's a ... Read Full Story

In The Internet Age, Does Anyone Still Like Catalogs?

…Besides me, of course? Greg Beato wrote a piece for Reason titled, "Where The Consumer Is King: In Praise Of Mail-Order Catalogs." He writes, "It seems that old-fashioned mail-order catalogs will soon be as extinct as the PalmPilot." Sad! Beato believes that though online shopping is "largely functional," commercials are "noisy and insistent," while catalogs are "serene" and "aspirational." And more enjoyable, in my opinion. Beato muses: The...
