Abstract

The objective of this paper is to have a look at rural commerce in the Buenos Aires pampas en the first decades of the 20 th century. We start from a previous analysis of existent historiography on commerce and traders, as well as a previous analysis and categories that allow us to start thinking about the problem. And we also present some previews of our research in a case study, the store "El Progreso" (which was owned by José and Francisco Vulcano), located in Gardey, (Tandil county), especially some reflections on the constitution of its commercial space and some features of the relationship store owner/customer in the period of the study (1922-1934).
