1940 Sears Radio Catalog

I remember the Sears specialty catalogs, the farm and ranch one had bees for sale:

But I was unaware that Sears had a radio catalog aimed at hams:

There is only this single catalog on Archive so don't know if it continued after the war.  I do remember that Sears sold Yaesu receivers with the Sears name (much like Heathkit sold Yaesu rigs with the Heath name) but a whole catalog of ham stuff is amazing.  The wooden tower and wooden beam on the cover are just so cool - I've got plenty of wood on the property, it could happen here !  :)
