Family Story Paper 688 includes a blurb that indicates that the Trade Waiting concept was already a thing in 1886.
\nFamily Story Paper #688, December 11, 1886, cover-features part one of a serialized story titled Captain Kidd's Treasures; or the Secret of the Bartholdi Statue Foundation, a tale which combines then-very-recent American and New York history with much older history of the area for a mystery story with some horror overtones. Interestingly, the issue also warns potential buyers that this serialized story will not be collected.
\nNotably, Family Story Paper #688 prominently includes the blurb 'This Story will not be Published in Book-form' at the beginning of the tale, which is a strong indication that 'waiting for the trade', the phenomenon of waiting to purchase the collected edition rather than buying the serialization was already in effect and that some publishers were concerned about it.
