Sears in Chicago, Ill was one of the first. He had a catalog that was sent out to people and the rail system was used for delivery. They sold everything from balls to houses. Wards was next and the two were in competition for years. Sears designed his catalog so it would sit on the same table with The Bible, so the two were always together.
