Mail order catalogs now rate a place on the shelves of the Chicago Public Library. Here Ruth Parrington, librarian in the art department of the library, studies early Sears Roebuck catalogs. Bound and dated, the early merchandise directories are used by illustrator writers and fashion designers as a source of authentic material. Volumes in intervals of five years since 1902 picture the styles of the period. Cycles of fashion trends have their start from the illustrations printed in the old books. Some of the current fashions are a revival of the era when Victorianism was a vanishing vogue. A comparison of prices in 1902, 1918 with 1948 also makes the earlier catalogs great escape reading. The catalog Miss Parrington holds features 1902 Ladies Stylish shown in an undated photo. (AP Photo)
