How He Follows Up EishoHsst purchasers
on the IustaIlment Plan.
One of the most important men in the
employ of q firm that makes "a speciality
of selling goods OH the ins;allment plan
is the tracer. His duty, as his name
signifies, is 10 find out the whereabouts
of delinquent customers, who think 10

ments by quietly moving away and neg.

Nothing could be more foolish than
such course, for this is feature of
the business that the installment houses
have reduced 10 a science. Ii is obvious
that in this city the great majority Of
those who purchase goods on weekly
payments live in fats. This makes it
comparatively easy matter for the deal
ers 10 keep them under surveillance, for
one Of the first things the collector does
is TO see the janitor and inform him
which families in the house have bought
goods on the installment plan. 1t pays
TO fee the janitor for this service, for he
is in position to know when any NOV.
ing is about 10 take place, and the in.
formation he gives the collector has
been the means Of nipping in the bud
many well laid scheme to get out of
paying furniture bill.
Sometimes, Of course, it happens that
o dishonest family will move away in
such hurry that the janitor is unable
TO inform the firm in time. In such an
event the tracer" is put on the case.
He sets about his work with the method
of the trained detective. He is familiar
with the name and address Of every fur
niture hover in the city, and his ac-
quaintance among the helpers is so ex-
tensive that it is more than likely he
has personal friend among the men
who moved the family he is seeking
With such advantages his task is not
