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. A bible and a Sears catalog until JC Pennies thought Sears had a good idea and produced their own catalog. It wasn't until the 1900's that a Sears store opened.

How did companies like sears take advantage of he newly created federal mail service?

Companies like Sears capitalized on the newly established federal mail service by using it to reach a broader customer base, especially in rural areas where traditional retail stores were scarce. They distributed catalogs, allowing customers to browse and order products from home, which revolutionized shopping. This direct-to-consumer approach not only increased their sales but also established a new retail model that relied on efficient mail delivery for fulfillment. Ultimately, the federal mail service enabled Sears to expand its market presence significantly.
