It will be a very long time before the 1916 Sears Christmas/Winter catalog is completely scanned for your viewing pleasure...so for now, we'll just let you know when we add large batches to the set--and we added A LOT this week.
Please note that the catalog is NOT in any particular order. Whatever pages are falling out or in danger of completely disintegrating--are the ones that get immediate attention.
This update is a real treat for renovators, with more period carpets, hanging lamps, sconces, lighting and the like. Retro kitchen lovers will find something too, while vintage firearms collectors will find revolvers, Winchesters, Smith & Wesson, etc. Enjoy! Click the link:

Welcome to EverythingCroton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.
A kitchen fire broke out at the Van Wyck Apartments on Grand Street today. Thankfully, the fire was contained to the one apartment and no one was hurt.
What impressed us most, however, was how quickly the Croton volunteer fire department responded, as well as other nearby fire fighters from Ossining, etc.So hats off to you guys for another job well done!

Mayor Peter Scherer had billed the gathering as an “informal meeting” and not a public hearing. He repeatedly assured residents while three developers have expressed interest in acquiring the land for affordable housing, none has yet submitted a formal proposal.

One of the nicer things about warmer days on the horizon is the prospect of local fishing. Croton residents are lucky to have a fisherman’s paradise packed into the tiny little shop known as Croton Bait and Tackle. The proprietors not only know where all the good spots are, they have everything you need—hooks, bait, sinkers, reels, poles, line, you name it. Croton Bait & Tackle is located at 65 North Riverside Avenue, 271-3675
