Although it is a program by Montgomery Wards about selling their products, I found it very listenable as Mary Ward and her clients go through the catalog together. It wasn't that long ago that catalogs from Montgomery Wards, Sears, and Penneys, among others were a vital and welcome source for many people shopping for necessities as well as fun things.
