The Toll of Mail-Order Trade on Rural Towns
A farmer's memoir from German-born Hans Garbus warns that mail order buying erodes local commerce and community life. He recalls starting with 80 acres, expanding to 200, then shifting purchases away from local merchants, precipitating town decline, empty stores, and lost taxes. He laments a drop in local services and property value, noting his own farm fell from 195 to 67 dollars per acre, costing him 35,600 over nine years.
