Front view of two women posing in 1952 Allstate car. The Allstate was manufactured by Kaiser-Frazer and sold through Sears, Roebuck and Company. Typed on back: "For release morning papers, Wednesday, December 19, 1951. Straight front. A distinctive ultra-modern grille with massive air foil marks the style of the new Allstate automobile now being introduced by Sears, Roebuck and Co. Exceptional road visibility is provided by the sightseeing safety windshield and the low, sloping hood. Car-width parking lights are located in the fenders." Stamped on back: "Sears, Roebuck and Co., Publicity Dept., Chicago."

Millie Collins was supposed to be a high fashion model… but these outfits from near the end of the comic book’s run look distinctly low brow - from with JC Penney’s or Sears Roebuck.

His grandmother gave him the nickname "Muddy" at an early age because he loved to play in the muddy water of nearby Deer Creek. Muddy grew up in the cotton country of the Mississippi Delta on the Stovall plantation near Clarksdale, Mississippi. He taught himself to play harmonica and played guitar simply, yet powerfully, proving that three chords played rhythmically and loudly could be as expressive as any tune with more notes and chords. "Waters" was added years later, as he began to play harmonica and perform locally in his early teens.

He had his first introduction to music in church and by the time he was 17 he had purchased his first guitar. "I sold the last horse that we had. Made about fifteen dollars for him, gave my grandmother seven dollars and fifty cents, I kept seven-fifty and paid about two-fifty for that guitar. It was a Stella and people ordered them from Sears-Roebuck in Chicago."

As a young man, he drove a tractor on the sharecropped plantation, and on weekends he operated the cabin in which he lived as a “juke house,” where visitors could party and drink moonshine whiskey made by himself. He eagerly absorbed the classic Delta blues styles of Robert Johnson, Son House, and others while developing a style of his own.

Muddy Waters was born McKinley Morganfield and died on April 30, 1983 at the age of 70.

This December 1981 photo, from the Orange County Archives, shows the Sears end of the South Coast Plaza shopping center in Costa Mesa, California. The department store originally opened in 1966 and would operate for 53 years until shutting down in 2019, being the last of the original anchor stores to close at the mall.
