K-MART BUYS SEARS, AFTER SEARS LISTS ITSELF IN SEARS CATALOG
After Sears cleverly listed itself in its own venerable catalog, another company finally took the bait. K-Mart, after being in bankruptcy and briefly considering listing itself in the Sears catalog a short time ago, announced it has managed to scrape together enough pennies in its mattress to buy its one-time rival. K-Mart cited "an excellent photo" and "enticing description" in the catalog as the primary reasons for its impulse buy of Sears.
The Rose Review suggested they use the new name "S-Mart", but they went with "Sear-MarKs".
