In 1872, Aaron Montgomery Ward took advantage of the growing shipping business in America to establish the Montgomery Ward Company.
The company's modus operandi was to showcase goods in a catalog and distribute it to people who would then order the products they liked. The company would then deliver it by rail.
Starting with a single-sheet catalog that offered only 163 items, the company grew to serve 3 million customers by the year 1904 and are still in existence today.
Goods will travel much faster traveling downstream in the canal system. Take the Panama Canal for instance. It cut down the time to sail around South america from about two months to at most a couple days. Plz mark brainliest!!
