As Goldman had hoped,the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market.But not only did more people come—those who came bought more.With larger,easier-to-handle baskets,customers unconsciously bought a greater number of items than before.

　　Today’s shopping carts are five times larger than Goldman’s original model.Perhaps that’s one reason why Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937—the coming of the shopping cart.
