So here we have a neat piece of retail shopping history. The 1976 Spring & Summer Eaton's catalogue would be the last catalogue they would ever produce and signaled a shift in the way we consume our goods.
It is in used condition, having some scratches, a couple small tears on the bottom corner(pic 6) and pen on the front cover(pic 8). Appears to have all the pages, no sign of mold, no water damage.
Overall it's in great shape and is so full of wild outfits and appliances from back in the day, it's a win for any reader.
-The Eaton's catalogue was a mail-order catalogue published by Eaton's from 1884 to 1976. It was "one of the first to be distributed by a Canadian retail store"
-In 1974 the Eaton's catalogue lost $17 million. The decline in the catalogue's fortunes was blamed on Canada's shift from a rural to an urban society in the mid-1900s. By 1974, 60 per cent of Canadians lived within a 30 minute drive of an Eaton's store.
