Sears: Your Source for Chicks

12-13-2010 Sears chicks 1940

In search of a certain article or photo that may or may not exist, I'm slowly and painfully making my way through the 1940 Gary Post-Tribune on microfilm — and it is slow and painful, because the Post-Tribune was (and still is) a daily paper with many pages.

Anyway, I came across this 1940 ad for the Sears store in Gary (which definitely doesn't exist anymore) and was amazed to find them offering baby chicks, and a brooder to raise them in.
