S
.
Postal
Service
in
1789
to
provide
a
national
system
for the
delivery
of
letters
,
newspapers
, and
other
materials
. The
expansion
of
rural
free
delivery
by

allowed

receive
mail
at
home

even
in
remote
locations
.
Rural
free
delivery
of
mail
eliminated
lengthy
trips
to
post
offices
for
rural

to an
increase
in
catalog
businesses
and
sales
,
including
those by
Sears
,
Roebuck
&
Company
and
other
retailers
