Sanitizer | The store once was called 'Sears and Roebuck,' so what ever happened to Roebuck? |
Did he do something awful to have his name removed? |

It wouldn't fit on the sign..so he became the silent partner until he developed alzheimers. then he just wondered around in housewares every day until he died tragically at the age of 92. its sad really...poor Mr. Roebuck. |

Roebuck , that is, Alvah Curtis Roebuck, wanted out in 1895, due to health strain, which is code for 'i'm having WAAYYY too much fun chasing girlies in the saloon', he was bought out by a Jewish guy, and it became Sears. |
|
Just curious in Thailand
 |
The same thing happened to Roebuck as happened to Pierce, Fenner and Smith.
(I am referring to Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner & Smith.) |

Sears came into to some major money and drop-kicked Roebuck's @$$ to the curb. LOL
I seriously don't know. |

K-Mart bought them and dropped the name |
|
?
|
There never really was a Roebuck, he was a fictional spokesman for the store much like the Michelin Man, the Pillsbury Dough Boy, and Martha Stewart |

In November 17, 2004, Kmart announced its intentions to purchase Sears. As a part of the merger, the Kmart Holdings Corporation would change its name to Sears Holdings Corporation. The new corporation announced that it would continue to operate stores under both the Sears and Kmart brands.
So now you know the rest of the story. :) |

Roebuck paired up with Benz and ran away to an island to become mango farmers. |

Nope. Trying to enhance and change the brand, the company shedded the Roebuck name from its stores in the 1970's. The company remained incorporated as Sears, Roebuck, & Co. until the merger with K-Mart.
It's hard to believe the company once sold houses in their catalog. |
