A jobbing house (or jobbing center) is a type of wholesale mercantile business which buys goods and bulk products from importers, other wholesalers, or manufacturers, and then sells to retailers. Jobbing houses can deal in any commodity destined for the retail market. Typical categories are food, lumber, hardware, fuel, and textiles. Some manufacturers are also jobbers for their own finished goods. The expression was common in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, but has become archaic.
A jobber thus is a person who carries on such a business or has such a function in the economy. Today, somebody who runs a dollar store is probably an example of a jobber.
