Rural America Shops by Mail
A mail order catalog like this 1894-95 Montgomery Ward offered a greater variety of fabrics—but customers often had to make their choices from black and white images, or from a description only. While customers might have less variety at their local drygoods or general store, they could see and feel the fabric before making their decision. THF119790
