Ever stop to think how our modern-day shopping culture came to be? In the early 1800s, stores were few and far between in the United States. General stores supplied everything from fabric and flour to handsaws and clocks. As the country grew, mail-order catalogs arrived at homes across the country, Mom and Pop specialty shops sprang up along Main Street, and later, shopping malls and big box megastores thrived in the suburbs. Then online shopping arrived via the Internet and changed the consumer experience yet again! Buying behaviors also changed over time. For example, did you know you could barter for a pound of sugar at a general store in the early 1800s? Or that department stores in the 1900s added restrooms and ladies lounges to encourage women to shop all day long? Or that online shopping in the twenty-first century is a multibillion-dollar industry? Spending Spree takes readers on an amazing journey from farmlands to cyberspace to learn about the evolution of shopping in the United States. 606 $aRetail trade$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aStores, Retail$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aShopping malls$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aConsumers$zUnited States$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aRetail trade$xHistory. 615 0$aStores, Retail$xHistory. 615 0$aShopping malls$xHistory. 615 0$aConsumers$xHistory. 676 $a381/.10973 700 $aBix$b Cynthia Overbeck$01027572 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452957003321 996 $aSpending spree$92443105 997 $aUNINA
