Stone Vaan Horne – (everything but the kitchen sink) February 3, 2021
Sears Roebucks sold mail order homes through their catalogue 1900-1937.
The advertising stated, “Everything is included, even the kitchen sink.” This made apprehensive buyers feel at ease knowing there was very little guesswork involved in ordering a Sears home. Sears promoted this all inclusive home value to sell what furnished the interior of the homes. i.e. everything from tea cups to a grand 12 piece dining room suite. The depression destroyed the industry when the economy crashed.
This is where the term came from.
