Includes the following..... ~Eatons Department Store~ Vintage Catalogue Collection Eaton's was once Canada's largest department store retailer. Founded in 1869 by Timothy Eaton, an Irish immigrant, Eaton's grew to become an institution in Canada, with stores across the country and a catalogue in the homes of most Canadians. The first Eaton's catalogue was a 34-page booklet, issued in 1884. As Eaton’s grew, so did the catalogue. By 1920, Eaton’s operated mail order warehouses in Winnipeg, Toronto and Moncton to serve its customers. To many, the catalogue became known as the Homesteader's Bible. It was often said that only two books mattered in a typical Canadian home: the Bible and the Eaton's catalogue. At a time when Canada’s population was predominantly rural, the catalogue provided a selection of goods that was otherwise unavailable to many and allowed all Canadians access to the prices and selection enjoyed in the larger cities. The catalogue offered everything from clothing to farming implements. Includes 19 extremely rare, vintage EATON'S catalogues spanning the period 1894 - 1921 and totalling almost 6000 pages of reading. Some example catalogue covers: The emphasis in these catalogues is on clothing, and in particular, ladies clothing. Take a look at some sample page images: Eatons catalogues also inclue a range of menswear: Also childrens clothing... Plus a wide range of other, non-clothing goods, in fact, almost everything else conceivable (for the period) including, for example; jewelry, crockery, silverware, groceries, books, toys, medical supplies, wallpaper, watches, textiles, carpets, furniture records, food, cameras + much more. Fascinating to view the range and quality of goods on offer. This Eatons collection also includes two additional Eatons related books: An Artist's Impressions on a Visit to a Great Store - T Eaton & Co 1910 - a fascinating "behind the scenes look at the Eatons operation in 1910.
