R.W. Sears
R.W. Sears started out working as a telegraph operator on a
railroad and stumbled across and opportunity to sell some
watches. Soon he was wholeselling watches to other
railroaders and then he set up a mail order business. He
hired a watchmaker named Roebuck who eventually became his
partner in Sears Roebuck & Co. The rest is, well, history.
Sears bought private labelled watches from several companies,
one of them being Elgin.
