What Is The Connection To Sears?
In 1910 Sears, Roebuck and Co. purchased the David Bradley Manufacturing Co. As part of Sears, Bradley made all sorts of goods, including war materials. Sears ultimately used the Bradley trademark on all agricultural items sold in the catalog, irrespective of the source of manufacture. Sears sold Bradley in 1962 as part of an anti-trust deal with the federal government.
