The Murals
Sears commissioned murals as pictorial presentations of history that appeared in various Sears stores throughout the United States. The murals were painted on canvas. His first such mural was for a store in Houston in 1939. A notable mural, for Allstate Insurance in Chicago in the 1950s, depicted the history of the automobile age. His last known mural was for a Sears store in Phoenix, Arizona in 1962.
