Sears Americus Scale Model
In 1928 you could purchase The Americus for $2034 and have it delivered, in numbered pieces, by rail car to your town for assembly. The Sears Modern Homes catalog describes the Americus as a dignified, substantial house that will stand out among its neighbors and never go “out of style”.
