Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Like many other Sears products, the Sears firearms were originally made by major firearm manufacturers. The J.C. Higgins brand for Sears Sporting Goods was eventually replaced with the Ted Williams brand. However, many more durable J.C. Higgins products are still available as second-hand items.
The brand name, J. C. Higgins, was named after a real person, John Higgins, who was a Sears employee. John moved from Ireland to the United States in his late teens and began working for Sears in 1898. He spent his entire working career with Sears, and at one point, he was even Vice President of the company. He was born without a middle name, but Sears Co. presented the idea of labeling their sporting goods line with his name and saw it as more presentable to label the brand as J.C. Higgins. It is unknown whether he had any expertise in sporting goods or sports. John Higgins worked with the company until his retirement as head bookkeeper in 1930 and passed away in 1950.
