DO U USUALLY ORDER FROM A CATALOG?
SOMETIMES.WHY?
OH, IT'S JUST IN THE HISTORY CLASS TODAY WE WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW THE
CATALOG SALES BUSINESS FIRST GOT STARTED IN THE US. A CHICAGO RETAILER,
MONTGOMERY WARD STARTED IT IN THE LATE 1800S. IT WAS REALLY POPULLAR AMONG
FARMERS. IT WAS DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO MAKE IT TO THE BIG CITY STORES SO
THEY ORDERED FROM CATALOGS.
WAS WARD THE ONLY ONE IN THE BUSINESS?
AT FIRST, BUT ANOTHER PERSON NAMED RICHARD SEARS STARTED HIS OWN CATALOG
AFTER HE HEARD HOW MUCH MMONEY WARD WAS MAKING.
WHAT MADE THEM SO POPULAR?
FARMERS TRUSTED WARD AND SEARS FOR ONE THING. THEY DELIVERED THE PRODUCTS
THE FARMERS PAID FOR AND EVEN REFUNDED THE PRICE OF THINGS THE FARMERS
WEREN'T SATISFIED WITH. THE CATALOG BECAME SO POPULAR SOME COUNTRIES SCHOOL
TEACHERS EVEN USED THEM AS TEXTBOOKS.
