Select the best evidence to support the statement that in the late 1800s a law made it easier for magazine companies to do business.

Question

At the turn of the 20th century, short stories were a preferred form of entertainment in the United States. This was a boom time for magazine publishing, owing part to the developments in offset printing technology as well as to the Postal Act of 1879, which had granted magazines discounted mailing rates. Publications such as the Ladies Home Journal, The Saturday Evening Post, and The Delineator, all of which published short stories, sold more than half a million copies per issue. The authors of these stories were well known at the time and often well paid.
