This is world of evolution. Approved
methods of few years past counted as
"out of date" and have given way to modern
practices
Science in all its branches has made wonderful
strides in the past few years; mechanics and cleo
tricity vastly different and improved from what
they few years ago.
Just as there has been marked advances in
science mechanics, medicine and their kindred
branches, also have there been vast improve
ments in the Commercial World; this brings
closer to the point in view:
Business is conducted on two bases namely;
cash and credit transactions.
If it today became necessary to conduct all bust
on a cash basis the volume would Immediately
shrink to a comparative nothing. For instance the
manufacturer can buy his material, manufacture
his articles sell to the retailer and he in turn sell to
the consumer before the maker and sometimes the
producer of the raw material has any cash returns.
1t must therefore be very plain that credit plays the
all important part in the business dealings of the
world
Everyone who buys credit must depend upon
future income with which to liqudate his in
debtedness. The man who has his labor to sell has
just the same right to figure the future income
that his labor will bring, the merchant
facturer who depends upon the return from the sale
of his merchandise
In spite of all this up to few years ago the only
class who denied this privilege of using credit
Merchants, matter how small, professional
of very limited incomes, could easily obtain
credit, but the honest man modest
salary could not do So for sum in proportion to his
earning power.
The first change of Importance with the
arrival of the first installment credit house which
allowed the salaried man to purchase certain
amounts upon specified terms
The installment business brought with it many
abuses of which exist to this day in certain
establishments, and which have been the means of
creating certain prejudice against this method of
merchandising.
This prejudice has rightfully existed where the
business has been wrongfully conducted
In line with the general improvement of the
times The Peoples Store has placed its business upon
the most modern plan possible. 1t has eliminated

The Peoples Store learned years ago that the
most effective way of increasing its business by
being lenent to its customers This leniency is well
known to the wage earners of Omaha, from whom
