Those were the mainstream places to go, it's where seemingly everyone did their shopping save for a small percentage at the very top and bottom of the socioeconomic food chain.

When I was a kid my parents seemingly bought most everything except food at department stores. Not just clothes and shoes but toys for us, pots and pans, appliances, my dad's snowblower, tires for the car, TVs, etc.
My house isn't that old but right now both my central vac and my central air conditioner are from Sears.
