THE ORIGINAL HOME SHOPPING NETWORK !
This is a very bog day in the history of
advertising! It was on this day in 1872 that
the A M Ward Company published the very
first mail order catalog! That allowed people
to shop at home! Of course catalogs became
very [popular over the years, especially the
Sears Catalog which was about the biggest.
It not only offered merchandise but doubled
its popularity in the days before indoor
plumbing became standard! Catalogs are a
little harder to find these days although a number
of companies, like Avon, still make them available
to customers. Many catalogs are offered on line
now but I kind of like having a printed one in
which I can circle an item I really like then let
it somewhere my wife is bound to see it! Hope
you're still checking the catalogs, that you are
well and that all your NEWS is good!
