[quote user="DSchmitt"]Farmer McDonald wants to order a dress from Sears to suprise his wife on her birthday. How far ahead should he order it ensure recieving it in time?.[/quote] That would depend on a number of things: 1.  We must take into account the outgoing mail order.  Variable not stated are distance from Farmer McDonald to Sears warehouse. 2. Processing time of the order. (no computers, done by hand) 3. Variable: Was dress shipped through US mail (was that even possible then) or Raiway Express Agency etc  Not saying that with this information I can answer your question, just noting that you need to provide more info in order to get an answer.  Maybe someone on the forums was around then and could provide anecdotal evidence?  (looking for someone 80 or so years old)
