Urban middle-class Americans are introduced to the fine art of "shopping" during the last decades of the 19th century. From 1880 onward there is the beginning of trade catalogues, national advertising and warehousing, and the creation of franchising networks in which economy of scale comes into play. Instead of small shops dotted across the urban landscape, there is the development of department stores and urban shopping areas. With the rapid expansion of the economy and the increasing number of hours workers have away from their jobs, it becomes possible to imagine leisure time as a normal part of life.
