There is an interesting article in JAN 18th issue of Investor's Business Daily, p. A20: "Mail Order: Will Internet retailing be a friend or foe?" Some traditional catalog retailers, such as Micro Warehouse, already have a significant web business but several other large catalog outfits are just starting or have yet to enter Internet competition. Many of these companies do something totally obscene - they make money and have reasonable P/Es. The article sees the industry growing over the next few years and sees benefit in lower advertising costs (about 20% of sales) for going on-line. However the "savings" factor ends up, the "Internet mania factor" will probably be much more important to some of these companies stocks as they go on-line and catch the Interest of speculators. The article list 25 catalogers with stock statistics. You should be able to pull it up at the IBD site after registering: www.investors.com
