Sunday Clothes . Favorits Collateral
In Holland.
The Dutch pawnshop Of Amsterdam.
known as Bank van Leening, is under
the control Of the municipality. Up to
1916 tho business was leased by the
city to q private company, but as 1t
refused to reduce its interest on pawn
ed articles the city took over the bust
ness and has managed it ever since.
The nrst shop was established in the
Enge Lambardsteeg. and business Is
still done in the original building. As
the business increased branch houses
were opened, and there are now fifteen
such branches throughout the city.
Each article pawned costs about 9
cents for administration, and about
$4,000 per annum is lost on articles
pawned which do not pay more than
4 per cent interest.
1t appears to be the custom Of some
people In Holland to pawn their best
clothes on Monday morning, redeem
them on the Saturday night following
and repawn them on the following
Monday, securing their use for the
Sunday outing. Over 40 per cent OF
the business Of the pawnshop consists
Of this class Of pledges.
The revenue is derived from interest
on pledges. to 10 cents charged on
each loan for administering expenses,
amounts received from the sale OF
pledges and rent Of parts Of the build
ing owned by the pawnshop.
The minimum advanced on any artf
Gle is 16 cents and the maximum $2O1
| The interest paid runs from 6 per cent
to Is per cent. The amount OF inter
est collected is regulated every three
years, so that the bank will not re
ceive at any time more than 8 per cent
on the capital invested. Re
