The statements that describe the reasons Sears decided to use catalogs to sell products were “Farmers could now afford more products and  Traveling salesman charged people living in the country very high prices.”

One of the brightest ideas of Sears, a popular department store in the United States, was the printing of catalogs to expand the variety and the number of products to be sold. Directives of the store realized that traveling salesman charged people living in the country very high prices, and Farmers were not clients. In 1888, Richard Sears printed a catalog to advertise jewelry and watches. The Homestead Act of 1862 facilitated the growth of railroads. The postal service could ship products practically in all parts of the United States and the rural free delivery of 1896 facilitated the distribution of catalogs.
