Description
Use the double-wheel volvelles as an adding machine to total up the savings by shopping at Sears. “It’s an old American Custom, first to Sears then to school.” While my family never shopped at Sears, I do remember the excitement of getting a new outfit for the first day of school and buying school supplies.
