NOTABLE AMERICANS WHO
BEGAN AS RAILROADERS.
Reprint from The Train
Dispatcher by permission.
Like many other successful
businessmen, Richard H. Sears
spent his childhood working on a
farm. When he was 14 years old, his
father, who was in ill health, bought
a farm near Huron Lake, Minn.,
believing that life in the country
might benefit his physical condition.
During that summer and the next
Dick ran the farm alone, but in the
autumn of Dick’s fifteenth year, his
mother recognized that the boy had
no talent for farm work and did not
like it, so she encouraged him to seek
further schooling or learn a trade.
Accordingly, he talked to the railroad
agent at Huron Lake and made a
deal whereby the lad would. help
around the station by doing odd jobs
such as sweeping and running
errands in return for this agent
teaching him telegraphy.
Richard Warren Sears was born
Dec. 7, 1863, at Stewartsville, Minn.
His parents were of English descent,
and his father had been a
blacksmith and wagonmaker.
Because of the father’s ill health and
inability to work, young Dick was
very anxious to qualify as an agent-
teleg'rapher in order to contribute to
the support of the family. He was
able to learn telegraphy and station
work quickly, and at the age of 17
he got a job on the St. Paul & Duluth
Railroad at North Branch, Minn. He
did well in his job as agent. He was
an excellent telegrapher and kept
his station in tip-top shape. Within
a short time he was offered
promotion, first as a dispatcher, and
later in the auditor’s office of the
railroad in St. Paul, Minn. But Sears
wisely decided he still had much to
learn about railroading before
accepting responsibility in other
phases of the work, so he contented
himself by applying for an agent’s
job in a larger station. Consequently,
at the age of 19, Dick Sears was
appointed agent at North Redwood,
Minn., a village ,of about 100 peeple.’ i
Agent positions were appointive;

Alderson
Council
Meeting
Rescheduled
Because the overwhelming
amount of work which has been
generated by the recent flooding in
Alderson, the regular July meeting
of the Council, which was scheduled
for July 14, has been rescheduled to
July 21.
Mayor Travis Copenhaver said,
“The staff of the Town of Alderson
have been concentrating on issues
related to flood clean-up and have
not had time to perform their usual
duties in preparation for Council. I
have decided to postpone it for a
week because many of the issues
they have been working on are time
sensitive and must be
accomplished.”
The Council for the Town of
Alderson will meet at 7:30 pm. on
Thursday, July 21 at City Hall.

North Redwood was located on a
rail line which was later to be a part
of the Minneapolis & St. Louis
Railroad, and more recently the
Chicago & North Western. At the
time of Sears’ assignment (1882) the
depot had living quarters above the
waiting room, and Dick brought his
family, consisting of his mother and
two sisters, to live there with him.
(His father died in 1879). The
number of people depending upon
him for support made it desirable for
him to augment his income, and he
did this by shipping into his station
\and selling coal, wood and lumber v
to nearby farmers, and by buying
and shipping to dealers in the city,
venison, blueberries and other
products which he bought from the
Indians located in the area.
During his first year at the
station, a shipment of watches
arrived at the depot and remained
there unclaimed. The wholesaler
who sent the watches had followed
a practice which was not unusual in
those days. He sent the watches,
unordered, “on consignment” to a
local jeweler, to be sold on
commission. But the Redwood Falls
jeweler, to whom the watches were
sent, did not pick them up. Sears
ascertained from the wholesaler the
price wanted for the watches, then
wrote a few letters to fellow agents
along the line, and sold the watches
for a $12.00 profit. He ordered more
watches from the same wholesale
firm, and continued to sell more and
more at what he considered a good
profit. I
Business became so good that
Dick Sears resigned from the
railroad in 1886 and moved to
Minneapolis where he established
the R. W. Sears Watch Company,
whose business was selling watches
all over the United States by mail.

city, he could give better service to
his mail-order customers.
His policy of “guaranteeing I
satisfaction” resulted in a small
number of watches being returned
during the warranty period, making
the services of a watch repair man
desirable. In 1887, Sears advertised
in a Chicago newspaper for a
watchmaker, and a man named
Alvah C. Roebuck answered the ad
and secured the job. Roebuck was
then in his twenties and was
employed as a watchmaker in
Hammond, Ind., at f salary of $3.50
per week. Four years later the two
men joined together in business and
the corporate name of the firm :
became Sears Roebuck and
Company. Utilizing the advantages
of volume buying, the railroads, and ‘-
the post offices, the mail order house
filled a real need of rural America
whose inhabitants were otherwise at
the mercy of the high retail prices
commanded by the small-town '
merchants.
Dick Sears, the former farmer
and small-town railroader, was the
guiding genius of the new firm. He
knew farmers, understood their
needs and wants, and could write
advertising copy for his catalog that
made farmers send in their orders
and dollars. In 1893, the year Sears
reached 30, sales topped $400,000,
and in 1895 they exceeded $750,000.
Sears catalogs became known as
“wishing books” and the early issues
have become collectors’ items.
Among the growing-pain-
problems of the Sears firm in the
early days was attaining efficiency
of operation in its mass mailings,
with no experienced experts
available to set up methods to insure
accuracy of procedures. For
example, the archives of the firm’s
headquarters in Chicago contain the
yellowed, handwritten original of a
letter written about the turn of the
century, “For heaven’s sake, quit
sending me sewing machines. Every
time I go to the depot I find another
one. there._You have shipped
