How did companies like sears take advantage of the newly created federal mail?
Sears didn't use the mail, but the railroads for their orders. In the 1800's a watch salesman named Sears came up with an idea to sell items by catalog. He opened a wherehouse in Chicago because that was the rail hub for east/west bound trains. His catalog carried everything from dolls to kit houses. Everyone had two things in their homes.
