18. They had a guarantee on kids' clothes when my boys were little.

If it was a Sear's brand they would replace any damaged clothing. My boys were always tearing out the knees of their jeans, so I would return them and get a brand new pair--free. They replaced them with the same size which was fine, as my boys were three years apart. It saved me loads of $$ at a time we really needed to save. It was a great incentive to buy their brand. I'm sorry to see them go.

Sears went out of business because Romney's Bain Capital bought them and loaded them w/debt. Nt Fiendish Thingy Dec 2020 #28

It was actually Edward Lampert and his company ESL Investments that did it. Angleae Dec 2020 #31

I thought at one point Bain was involved with K Mart, which Sears owned. Nt Fiendish Thingy Dec 2020 #32
