Of Bookish Things

Displaced Memory Eaton's Catalogue 1917.

The Eaton's catalogue was a mail-order catalogue published by Eaton's from 1884 to 1976. It was "one of the first to be distributed by a Canadian retail store".

The first version of the catalogue was a 32-page booklet handed out at the Industrial Exhibition (now the Canadian National Exhibition). Within twelve years, the company's mail-order department was filling over 200,000 orders per year. Eaton's actively sought out new subscribers, particularly in rural areas, by employing such tactics as offering gifts for the contact information of non-subscribers.

The earliest versions of the catalogue included in 1887 (the first were text-only), in 1915, and in 1919.

The Eaton's catalogue has been featured in multiple works of Canadian literature, including 'The Hockey Sweater' and 'Anne's House of Dreams'. The publication itself was used to teach literacy in some classrooms. In Western Canada, the catalogue was dubbed the "Homesteader's Bible" or the "Family Bible". This "" was used for such diverse purposes as shin pads, home insulation, and outhouse toilet paper.
The catalogue ceased publication in January 1976.

The Eaton's Christmas catalogue every Canadian child's seasonal planner, and many a headache for Canadian parents.

On the left is the cover of Eaton's Spring & summer Catalogue No 122 1917. The cover's central image in a circle is a young woman, dressed up with a fancy bonnet, and sitting in a canoe. behind her are reeds and trees. In front of the canoe are water lilies floating in the water. The rest of the cover is a flower and stripe pattern typical of wallpaper of that time period. The left side of the composition shows a Stylish Millinery page from the catalogue. Featured are three headshots of women wearing hats. The rest of the composition has text and lines that emulate cyanotype photo prints.
