Re: Recent postings regarding treatment by Sears-Roebuck & Company
 
To those of you who might like to know:
 
 About 11K companies make products for Sears. Some of the most
 well known are:
 
     radial tires-           Michelin
     batteries-              Globe-Union
     kitchen appliances-     Hamilton Beach
     irons-                  Sunbeam
     electric drills-        Singer
     tv's/stereo's/vcr's-    Sanyo, Toshiba,Hitachi
     mens shirts-            I. B. Schwabe
     washers-dryers          Whirlpool(Sears buys 43% of Whirlpool sales)
     ranges-                 Roper
     paints-                 DeSoto Company (?)
     general textiles-       Swift
 
I realize that Sears is starting to promote brand names more and
more and this list is far from complete.
 
Does anyone else know what are the "brand name" names that Sears
sells?
Please post to net.
