The precut, ready to assembly houses were ordered by mail and shipped by train. There were from 10,000 to 3 0,000 pieces in each home package depending on the size of the house you ordered. It took two boxcars to haul the mail-order house. It is estimated that 100,000 Sears kit homes were sold in the 48 states from 1908 to 1940. Company founder of the Sears, Roebuck and Company was Richard W. Sears who was a marketing genius. By making home ownership so easy, he opened a huge market for furniture and appliances for those houses which could be ordered from the Sears, Roebuck catalog. On the floor plans for some houses, are dotted lines to suggest placement for davenports, rockers, beds and dressers. Sears, Roebuck and Co. was founded in 1886 and began its general mail-order business that same year. It issued it's first catalog in 1888. The 80 page catalog was devoted exclusively to watches and jewelry. Sears issued the first catalog devoted exclusively to mail-order homes in 1908. Sears, Roebuck and Company aspired at one time or another to be the provider of virtually every consumer product to American people. That almost 7 2016 Number 4 Lawrence County Historical Society came true after World War I when Sears was considered "The World's Greatest Store". From 1908 to 1912, Sears manufactured its own line of automobiles. For some 15 years, it sold groceries in it's stores. Most ambitious of all, it offered completely prefabricated houses to customers throughout the country; an offering that led quickly to the underwriting of mortgage loans. You could buy from Sears, Roebuck and Co. an "Honor Built" Modem Home, consisting of lumber, lath, millwork, sash weights, hardware, nails, paint, building paper, eaves trough, down spout and roofing material, plumbing goods, heating plant and lighting fixtures in one package or kit. If you owned a good, well located building lot free and clear from debt, you could buy your Sears house on easy payment terms. You would make a small payment of one percent ( 1%) or more, including interest each month. Payments were from $15.00 to $75.00 depending on the size of your house. From 1908 until 1940, Sears offered more than 370 designs of their kit houses, but there were sixty bestselling models. About 90% of all Sears kit houses , were in the sixty best selling designs The prices of the 370 designs offered by Sears ranged from the $629.00 Selby design, to the $4,909.00 Glen Falls design depending on how much you wanted to pay for your house. The Selby offered a living-dining room, kitchen, two bedrooms and bath. The Glen Falls, a Dutch Colonia style, offered a sun porch, 8 2016 Number 4 Lawrence County Historical Society den, kitchen, living room, dining room, four bedrooms and two baths. Sears promised these houses could be built in ninety days. There was a leather-bound, seventy-five page instruction book on how to put it all together included with each Sears kit house. I know of one Sears, Roebuck and Company house located in our area. Thank you Rhonda Turbyville for telling me about this house. The house is located on Lawrence County Road 409 near the Walnut Ridge Airport in Lawrence County. The Sears house was built by the Snow Family in the early 1900s. The house was shipped by train to Walnut Ridge and then built on the Snow property. This Sears house was "The Whitehall" design that sold for $ 1,863.00. The two-story Whitehall house plans included a living room, kitchen, dinning room, three bedrooms, bath room, and porch. The Terry Henry family own the Sears house today. Dan and Susan Watson owned and lived in this house for sixteen years. They purchased the house from the Snow estate. The original Sears house has been modified over the years. The Watson's were told that there was a community know as Snowville located in this area. There was a store located here and there is the Snow cemetery located not far from the Sears house. Although most of the Sears homes were sold to individuals, Sears also sold houses to companies for their company towns near their factories. In the 19 19 catalog, Sears illustrated the 192 houses purchased 9 2016 Number 4 Lawrence County Historical Society by the Standard Oil Co. and was erected for workers in Carlinville, Illinois, in 1918 at a reported cost of$ 1 million. Another corporate customer was Bethlehem Steel which erected Sears Houses in Hellertown, PA. Each piece of material was marked with numbers or letters. Those numbers and letters all fit together to make your modem home. You could do the building of you own house or hire a local carpenter to do the building for you. One way to tell if your house might be a Sears home, is to 'look for those numbers and letters on the building materials in your house. Other companies than Sears offered mail-order houses. Some of those companies were; Pacific Homes, Gordon, Van Tine, Lewis Homes, Sterling Homes, and Aladdin Company of Bay City, Michigan. The Aladdin Company offered mailorder houses, summer cottages, and garages. In 1927, Aladdin offered a five room, mail-order house for $498.00. Sears, Roebuck Company not only offered your dream home by mail-order, it offered garages, barns, summer cottages and even sold a mailorder simpler portable outhouse for $41.00 Most Sears houses were built in the Mid-West and North-East, but Sears houses were sold in all 48 states. There are still Sears mail-order houses that line our town and suburban streets today. These houses are of historical value. If you live in 10 2016 Number 4 Lawrence County Historical Society a Sears mail-order house or know of one in our area, please let me know at 807-609-1211. Sears House located on Lawrence County Road 409 near Walnut Ridge Airport. The Terry Henry family owns the house today.

His name was Talley, so the homes became known as Talley houses. L. R. Warner, retired druggist, says about six of them are still in use. Most of the others were destroyed by fire. Mr. Warner says when the Missouri-Pacific yards left Hoxie in 1927 and when the depression hit in 1929 many homes in Walnut Ridge and Hoxie were burned so the owners could collect insurance. One of the homes was occupied by the well-known Tom Blackwell family. Ralph Lehman, a druggist and Ford dealer, gave away a T-Model Ford as a business promotion. Mrs. Blackwell won the car, and just after receiving it, the family was photographed in the Model T in front of their home. Tom Blackwell is riding in the front seat and his wife is in the back seat with their children. This photo was made about 191 7-19 19. Mr. Warner recalled that cars were so small then that they were shipped by rail, in crates. He remembers that Mr. Leillnan displayed this car in his drug store. Uncle Tom Blackwell died about 1943 at his home in Hoxie at the age of 81. He worked for the Missouri Pacific Railroad for 4 7 years and was an engineer for 40 years. The family moved to Hoxie in 1905. In 1922, Uncle Tom bid in a prize job on a Missouri-Pacific run from Poplar Bluff to Charleston, MO. He had the 12 2016 Number 4 Lawrence County Historical Society seniority and kept the job for 10 years. But he retained the house in Hoxie and in 1932 the family returned. He and Mrs. Blackwell had 10 children, five of whom died young. Remaining members of the family are Mrs. Alice Diggs and Raymond Blackwell of Hoxie and Joe Blackwell of St. Louis. Raymond Blackwell has retired after a career on boats in the Great Lakes. The Tom Blackwell family is shown in a new car they won. Their home is in the background. It was one of a dozen " Talley" homes in Hoxie. The Blackwell home still stands on Broad Street in Hoxie. It has been remodeled twice and is not recognizable as being the same house as shown above. 13 2016 Number 4 Lawrence County Historical Society HAND-MADE MATTRESSES By Anna Lue Cook Most of us have heard the expression, "If you make your bed then you have to lay in it". That is just what people did in the 1940s. They made their own cotton mattress and then slept on it. The U.S. Department of Agriculture had a surplus of cotton. Many Americans were sleeping on hay or corn husk mattresses. Why not start a mattress making program so the American people could use that surplus cotton to make a better mattress and get a good night's sleep. Under the administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Federal Surplus Commodities Corporation, the Agriculture Adjustment Administration, and the Extension Service started a mattress making program in 1 940. The mattress making program was first started in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas. The program was extended to other states later. The Federal Surplus Commodities Service (FSCC) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) made surplus cotton and mattress material (ticking) available upon request from counties. 50 pounds of cotton and 10 yards of mattress material (ticking) were needed to make a full-size double mattress. The minimum a county could order, at the beginning of the program, 14 2016 Number 4 Lawrence County Historical Society was 12 bales of cotton and 1 bale (approximately 1,200 yards) of ticking: larger orders would be in multiples of these amounts. A bale of lint cotton weighs about 5 00 pounds. A bale of cotton would make 10 mattresses. A bale of ticking (approximately 1,200 yards) would make 120 mattresses. The Agricultural Adjustment Administration (AAA) determined which families were eligible to make the mattresses. A farm family would need to have an income of$400.00 or less for the year 1939. In 1939, the depression was still being felt. An annual income of $400.00 made many families eligible to make a mattress or mattresses. The Extension Service was responsible for the educational work, the organization, and the supervision of the Cotton Mattress Program to be conducted in the States growing cotton with rural families. Later the mattress program was expanded to almost all states. The cotton and ticking for making the mattresses were shipped to each county. The County Home Demonstration Council would designate a home demonstration club woman as chairman of the cotton mattress committee of the Home Demonstration Club in each community wishing to make mattresses. The Home Demonstration Clubs would choose a central place at which the mattresses would be made. The mattresses were made in schools, churches, homes, Home Demonstration Club buildings, on plantations, in barns, and out under shade trees at private homes. Most of the materials (cotton and ticking) for making the mattresses were shipped by rail to each county. The materials were picked up by the designated trucker for each community club and taken to the central site 15 2016 Number 4 Lawrence County Historical Society where the mattresses were being made. The Chairman of each community club would furnish materials to each family to make the mattress or mattresses that they were qualified to make. Each family was instructed on how to make a mattress by the community club or by other families who had completed making their own mattress. Grover B. Hill, Assistant Secretary of Agriculture at the time of the mattress making program, made the following statement: "We are endeavoring under the present mattress program to take advantage of the opportunity presented by our cotton surplus to stimulate interest in increasing the number of better beds. In a land of abundance, we should avail ourselves of the opportunity to provide the things we need. Through this program, we are increasing the health, comfort, and happiness of our people, and, at the same time, are helping the cotton farmer to get a more equitable price for his cotton, which, in tum, is a benefit to all others." By July 27, 1940, a total of 258,458 mattresses had been made and 50,498 of those mattresses were made by families in Arkansas. Some of these 70 year old mattresses are still in existence today. Some are kept as family heirlooms and others are still being used. My research of the mattress making program began in Randolph County Arkansas and ended at the U.S. Department of Agriculture Library at Washington, D.C. I have documented 22 communities in Randolph County Arkansas where the mattresses were made in the 1940s. I have documented five communities in Lawrence County Arkansas where the mattresses were 16 2016 Number 4 Lawrence County Historical Society made. There were mattresses made in almost all our counties in Arkansas. I have not documented other counties at this time. Materials for mattress making were cotton, the material (ticking), thread and heavy cord, tufts, and needles. The USDA furnished the cotton and ticking free to each family wanting to make a mattress. The needles, thread, heavy cord, and tufts (the mattress buttons) were furnished by the community club or the individual family purchased these materials for about 25 cents per mattress. Each family had a total of 25 cents in each mattress and the time it took to make the mattress. The total expense for each mattress for the government was about 88 cents per mattress. At this same time, families could make a comforter (quilt) to complete their new bed. The USDA furnished the cotton and material for the quilt making. The quilts were tied and tacked so all the family had to provide was the thread and needle to do this and the work to make the quilt. It cost the government about 33 cents for the material to make each quilt. One man told me the first night he slept on the cotton mattress was the best nights sleep he has ever had. He had been sleeping on a com husk mattress. One lady told me she made a mattress for she and her future husband. The first night after their wedding was spent on that hand-made cotton mattress. Many Arkansas families did lay in the beds that they made in the 1940s. Mattress making is a big part of Arkansas heritage. The hand-made, cotton mattress that I own holds much of that heritage. Much of the cotton for these mattresses was grown here in our state. Arkansans not only got a better night's sleep, they got 17 2016 Number 4 Lawrence County Historical Society paid more for the cotton they raised because of the mattress making program.
