A friend of mine rode across Canada back in the early 1970s using a Pletscher rear rack to hold his gear. He enjoyed the ride and wrote a book about it = "JOURNEY ACROSS A CONTINENT" by David Gidmark.

Cheers
I've got a Pletscher as well. The design is slightly different and the finishing on the Kmart one is much cruder which makes me wonder if it is a rebranding or a complete rip-off.
