Wholesalers in Winnipeg at the turn of the century benefited tremendously from favourable rates offered by the Canadian Pacific Railway. Soon, other railways granted similar rates resulting in a spectacular increase in the jobbing trade of the city.

At one point there were nineteen rail lines connecting Winnipeg to the rest of Canada as the city became the supply point for Western Canadian settlement.
