niture stores of Salt Lake annually.
The greater part of this amount comes
from men working for wages, who have
families to support.
1t is not only the poor and the mid
die class\ who buy In this manner, but
professional men as well. Among the
instalment buyers are doctors, lawyers
dentists, preachers, mining men, en-
gineers and all others who have occa-
sion to purchase more than they can
readily pay for in cash.
THE instaIment buyers" said one
dealer who has had long experience
i'm this market, ARE more conscientious
i'm Salt Lake than in any other city in
which I have been in business. They
seem eager to pay, and pay promptly.
There is seldom a case where buyer
attempts to take advantage of the deal
err, and try TO beat him out of his
goods or his pay.
Homes Well Furnished.
THE homes OF the working people,
the wage earners, are better furnished
and are more comfortable than in any
other city west of the Mississippi river.
The reason is that the purchasers have
the right taste, and have the oppOr-
tunity of selecting from large stocks.
The instalment plan is an inducement
to them TO buy well, and fit their
homes with only the better grades OF
goods
The initial payments on any class
of goods purchased on this plan, are
usually 10 per cent of the gross amount
of the bill The regular monthly pay
ments are usually per cent of the
balance. and but few bills run for more
than eighteen months.
Payments Exceed Contracts.
In three cases out of five. the pay
mentS are in excess of the regular
amount required by the contracts. The
fact that the title of the goods remain
with the seller until the fiual payment
is made, has a tendency TO cause the
purchaser to hasten his payments il
order to secure title to his property
and feel the independence that come!
with undisputed possession and un
clouded title.
But it is not only furniture that car

For Benefit Of Book Lovers.
There are one or two houses in tn
city where clothing can be bought il
this manner. The Quitting of librarie
on the monthly payment plan has beer
a boon to many book lovers who hav
been unable to buy the standard au
| thors i'm sets on the cash basis.
! CloakS are made to order and ar
paid for, sometimes, by the time tn
cloak has passed the stage of useful
ness or respectability. There are bu
few pianos or organs that are sol

| every month for the payment.
But the man who rents a hous
does not always want to live unde
the roof of a landlord. When he ha
accumulated a small sum of money
he is enabled to move into his ow1
home, built after his own plans, an

Extends Beyond the Grave.

Almost any desirable risk" can Sc
cure life insurance policies i'm nearly
all of the large companies with local
agencies, upon signing notes for the
payment Of his premiums. These notes
call for payments i'm thirty, sixty, nine
~ and 120 days, and virtually give the
insured his protection on the INSTALL
ment plan. In the event of the death
of the insured before the entire pre-
MUM is paid, and if all payments have
been made to the time of death. the
policy is paid. and the amount Of the
premium unsolicited is deducted from
the face of the policy.
Thus the inStallment habit frequent
ly follows those who are subject TO t.

Losses Are Small.

The loss suffered by local instalment
houses is less than 1 per cent on all
inStallment accounts. Foreclosures are
infrequent, and it is seldom that goods
are pulled" unless the purchaser is
able to pay and refuses to do so.
1t is not generally known, but almost
every rOoming house and lodging hosue
in the city has been furnished on the
installment plan. the proprietors de-
pending upon the business revenue to
meet the payments eXacted from month
TO month.

fectly able to make larger payments
without too great sacrifice. The offer
was gratefully accepted by the widow,
who paid the small amount required
for several months when a sudden turn
in the wheel of fortune put her in pos
session of a considerable sum of money.
The first act of the woman was to ap-
pear at the credit window and ask for
her statement, which she paid in full
after thanking the credit manager for
his consideration of her distress when
she was most In need of help.
Many DesertIon Cases.
There are many cases that come to
the attention of the credit managers of
the larger local installment houses,
where young wives are deserted by
their husbands. and are unable to meet
their payments on their household
goods.
Such cases are almost invariably
treated In the same manner as they
would be treated In case the husband
died. Extensions are granted freely,
payments are reduced and the condition
of the prematurely widowed women are
made as easy as possible, and at the
same time remain consistent with good
business practice.
1t is a matter of knowledge in one
local furniture house that a man had
been gwen $500 by his sister for pay
ment of a bill for household goods
which she had purchased. This man
paid $500 of the amount. and left the
city with the remaining 5000.
Thought Bill Was Paid.
The woman, supposing that her ac-
count had been paid i'm full, was greatly
chagrined a month later to receive a
statement to the effect that she was
| indebted to this house in the sum of
5000 Fastening to the credit manager
she insisted that a mistake had been
made in her account, as she had given
| her brother the entire amount TO be
paid to the house. The credit man
| ager stated that an investigation would
| be made, and quietly set the machinery
| of his office at work, with the result
| that her statement was confirmed.
The woman was never sent another
statement. The house located the alb
sconding brother and charged the
amount to him. The best part of the
case was that the account was collect
ed, dollar for dollar, with interest, and
! the woman did not learn of her broth
er's defalcation until the amount was
almost entirely paid-and then it was
not through the house that the infor-
| nation was pnuVeUpd IN hpr

THE SCHOOL n S
Policemen Will Begin Taking the
Facts October Is,

FaCtS OCTOBER 10.
The police here and throughout
the greater city will begin taking the
new school census October Is. The
members of the force designated to
do the work will be compelled to visit
the home of every parent in the city
for exact information required by the
Board of Education. Any parent or
guardian refusing information or
suppressing facts may be subject to
a fine of $40 or imprisoned thirty
days.
Superintendent Maxwell, of the
public schools, by arrangements with
Commissioner Bingham, has placed
the burden of collecting the figures
on the police force, but the police
have little faith in the result. In
stead, they are in favor of the en-
actment of a law such as operates in
Paris and Berlin, compelling parents
to take their child to the station
house for registration.
Each patrolman here, under the
present system, will be furnished
with cards which, when filled out,
will show the name and age of each
person between four and sixteen
years. whether attending public or
private school or whether excused
from either.

A WORD 70 THE WISE.

some OF our young men and others
who are beginning to think they are
young men, are wise they will realize
that a word of warning is sufficient
to deter them from using profane,

Already complaint has been made to
one of the justices of the peace of
this unmanly act and If repeated no.
tice will be taken of the complaint.
This behavior, under the disorderly
act, constitutes a disorderly person,
and upon conviction the penalty is
