History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 423930-38 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • The Surplus & Salvage Merchandise (Wholesale) industry has a long history dating back to the early 20th century. During World War I, the US government established the War Industries Board to oversee the production and distribution of war materials. After the war, the board was dissolved, and many surplus goods were sold to the public at discounted prices. This led to the emergence of surplus stores, which sold a variety of goods, including clothing, tools, and military surplus. In the 1930s, the Great Depression led to an increase in the number of surplus stores, as people looked for ways to save money. During World War II, the government again established the War Production Board, which oversaw the production and distribution of war materials. After the war, many surplus goods were sold to the public, leading to another surge in surplus stores. In recent history, the industry has seen a shift towards online sales, with many surplus stores now selling their products through e-commerce platforms.
