In the 1950's and early 60s Sears bicycles were sold under the name " J.C. Higgins" (perhaps a jab at their competitor J.C. Pennys?).
For a while in the later 60's and early 70's, they only bore the "Sears" name.
During this time, many of their "lightweight" bicycles were manufactured by Puch bicycles from Austria, and were of very high workmanship.
About 1973 Sears began offering Huffy bicycles under the name "Free Spirit".
This may have been linked to Sears and Roebuck as a company.
In 1981 they changed the company name to Sears Merchandising Group
Richard Sears and Alvah Roebuck decided to start a company together--hence the name of the store and company.
The retail clothing chain Sears was originally founded by two men Richard Sears and Alvin Roebuck. Roebuck left the company in 1895.
