Sears put Ted's name on a lot of different 22 rifles. Go to Dick's or Walmart and price a similar (automatic, slide action, bolt action) utility gun. Your used J.C. Higgins will be worth from 1/2 to 2/3 as much as the new one, depending on condition.
25-140 usd

It will not be easy to find a manual for a JCS Higgins 20 gauge bolt action model 583.15 shotgun. The company, JC Higgins is no longer around and has been replaced by the company, Ted Williams. The company, Ted Williams may be able to help someone find a similar model manual.
No, j.c.higgins was made by several gunmakers for sears between 1946 and 1962 for retail. Ted Williams just used his name as a marketing tool for a certain model and number of guns. J Higgins was an employee of Sears that worked his way to the top from the bottom. It's a pretty neat story. When he died they changed to the Ted Williams line. http://www.searsarchives.com/brands/jchiggins.htm
