Default Re: History of whatever.... If you can't afford Porcelain then we have just what you want

Gordon,
As I have been digging up resources for my own projects in the weird and wonderful area of the occult I have found something fun and related to your history lesson.

Authors like Sydney Flowers who wrote, in addition to courses about Personal Magnetism, Hypnosis, Clairvoyance, etc..., titles such as:

The Men Who Advertise (1870),
Secrets of the Mail-Order Trade (1900),
Principles of the Mail Order Business (1901),
Conducting a Mail Order Business (1921),
Mail Order Organization (1922),
and Mail-Order Made Easy (1928)

He's not the only one either. Lots of colorful characters were out there creating, publishing, and selling remotely.

Everything olde is new again.
