　　Local businessmen are increasingly facing competition from on line retailers. Larry Oollock, owner of Camera Co/Op on South Congress, said he has been dealing with this kind of problem for years, even before the Internet. The struggle began with mail-order catalogues, which are similar to online retailers in that they have few employees to pay, no sales tax fees and no business venue to lease and manage.

　　“Their overhead is lower, but they don’t offer a service like we do,” Pollock said.

　　Pollock, however, said providing a valuable service to customers does not always guarantee continued sales.

　　“We spend 30 minutes to an hour with somebody and they go home and buy it online,” he said.

　　According to the state comptroller’s office, online shopping is developing at a more rapid rate than traditional businesses.
