Before mail order catalogs, people could only buy products locally. There was generally only one store or dealer that you could buy particular item from, and this let the owner of the store/dealership charge whatever they wanted to because they had no competition. However, with the introduction of the mail order catalog there was a way for people to purchase products from a national market. They knew what price was fair, and would not pay more than that. They began to order products from the national market, instead of a locally owned one, because it was cheaper and they knew that they were getting a fair deal.
One of the most famous of shopping catalogues in the US was the Sears Catalogue.
