| the cash down price, but they do not
know how much more. The popular
notion is that the extra charge is 10
per cent, but men will not wait six
months or a year or even two years
and incur the heavy expenses involved
in making their collections to realize
only 10 per cent more than the cash
price The statistics Of the trade show
that less than half pay their debts in
full and in many cases practically the
entire cost price OF the goods sold Is
lost. He who buys on installments
pays not only for long waiting and
heavy expenses but also for the pur-
chsses Of the shiftless and the dis
honest. Sometimes the credit Gus
toner pays full two prices. A $25
sewing machine may be sold for az
much as $50. This IL robbing the Gus
toner who intends to pay in full, yet
the dealer often makes but q small
profit and that after more worry than
those who sell for cash.
The credit situation introduces q
novel theory in economics. In media
eval times It was argued that when
two traded the gain OF one meant the
loss of the other. Later economists
proved that both might be gamers.
But in the installment business 1t ap-
pears that while one loses the other
does not gain. OF course this ignores
the third party In the transaction, the
shiftless who are the ultimate gamers

Jacob Bloomgarden in The Survey
Press Bureau says:
Do you know that there is wide
spread business which takes money
from honest folk to give 1t to thieves2
would you like to be a middleman be-
tween the deserving purchaser and the
scoundrel? This thought is one that
ernbarrasses the installment man In so
far as he IL endowed with con-
science for he is obliged TO penalize
the upright to protect himself from
the beat"
To people who are accustomed to DO
their buying in the larger department
stores, or who even purchase their
gowns and household goods In Europe
II NAV be surprising to learn that IN
New York and other cities there are
whole sections where the installment
man gets the trade OF almost all the
people. where one reason that he does
not get that Of all Is because some are
so wretched that even the most easy
going OF the credit men will not risk
goods with them. Those who are
trusted get almost everything they
need on llments--furniture car
pets, table covers, portieres, clothing.
ANY other way OF buying is scarcely
imagined
within limits the condition In life
hae little effect upon this habit Of re-
living upon credit. Among those who
indulge in the practice are brickiayers,
clerks, policemen. and IRE chiefs. Nor
is the custom restricted to any one

customers of one dealer. as shown by
his account books, were Americans,

why do people buy on installments2
An obvious answer IL because they
have not the ready cash for their i'm

pens in the case Of the newly married
couple. But this is only part Of the
exclamation. The inetallment business
IL not limited to the poor and very lit

needed. Nor can the responsibility be
entirely blamed upon the swarm Of
canvassers who infest the homes OF
millions. The spread of the credit syE-
