From
1908 until 1961 Sears, Roebuck & Company sold a wide
variety of sporting goods, under the brand name "J.
C. Higgins." John Higgins was the
manager of the headquarters' office bookkeepers. John
Higgins consented to Sears use of his name for a new
line of sporting goods. Since he did not have a middle
initial, Sears added the "C." In 1908, the
Western Sporting Goods Company in Chicago began putting
J.C. Higgins on baseballs and baseball
gloves sold in Sears catalogs. The J.C. Higgins
brand disappeared shortly after Sears introduced the Ted
Williams brand of sporting and recreation goods in 1961.
