C-Richard Warren Sears

Explanation:

This description best matches the character of Richard Warren Sears. Sears was the founder of Sears, Roebuck and Company with his partner Alvah Curtis Roebuck. The two pioneered the business of sales catalogues. These were distributed in rural areas, taking advantage of the fact that farmers had begun to make more income and wanted more specialized goods. His enterprise was extremely successful, and eventually expanded nation-wide.
