Re: Recent postings regarding treatment by Sears-Roebuck & Company
To those of you who might like to know:
About 11K companies make products for Sears. Some of the most
well known are:
radial tires- Michelin
batteries- Globe-Union
kitchen appliances- Hamilton Beach
irons- Sunbeam
electric drills- Singer
tv's/stereo's/vcr's- Sanyo, Toshiba,Hitachi
mens shirts- I. B. Schwabe
washers-dryers Whirlpool(Sears buys 43% of Whirlpool sales)
ranges- Roper
paints- DeSoto Company (?)
general textiles- Swift
I realize that Sears is starting to promote brand names more and
more and this list is far from complete.
Does anyone else know what are the "brand name" names that Sears
sells?
Please post to net.

I'm trying to figure out what is meant by this comment. Are you saying Sanyo is bad, Toshiba is bad, or both compared to Hitachi? If you are knocking Toshiba, then I have to disagree. I have a 19" Toshiba color television that I bought back in 1978. People still remark on the good quality of the picture, and I have never had a problem with it. My only experience with Hitachi, however, was not nearly so good. I bought a cassette deck which was supposed to be a good one, but I thought the sound was terrible and quickly replaced it. I also have a Toshiba receiver and the only problem I've encountered is that both times my house was zapped by lightning (yes, twice and at 2 different locations!), the receiver had many parts blown. I can hardly blame Toshiba for that. -- Sue McKinnell ...!ihnp4!ihopb!suem IH 6N226 x5313
