FOR THE HOLIDAYS
New York Poor Got More
Loans than Usual This
Time, Say Brokers.

The opinion among New York pawn
ceeding Christmas and New Years were
the most profitable for them during the
entire year. 1t has been estimated by
conservative authorities that more
than Sl.OO0.0OO was lent out by New
York pawnshops during the week pre-
ceding Christmas.
IL is estimated that fully S3,000,000 is
outstanding in loans issued by the 300
pawnbrokers who do business in New
York. II was said that one Bowery
pawnshop had more than 100000 in
loans outstanding.
Business in general has been much
better with pawnshop men this year
than il was last year at this time.
This is accounted for by the fact that
the number of unemployed is much
larger than last winter. As conse-
quence loans have deprecated A
pledge will not bring as large a loan
this year as it would have brought
last year.
One OF the leading pawnbrokers in
New York, who lives in Fifth av. and
conducts a string of pawnshops in
greater New York. estimated that fully
80 per cent of the loans made during
the last two weeks would be repaid
within thirty days.
Around this time OF the year pawn
brokers play Santa Claus to larger
extent than is usually believed" he
said. cit is surprising how many poor
people pledge articles which at the
time may be of little value TO them
in order to be able TO purchase Christ
mas presents. With the first pay day
in the new year these pledges are
usually redeemed"
Some queer loans are made by pawn
brokers around New Years. One bust
ness man used 10 pawn the greater
portion of his household furniture
, every year; another his wifc's iewelry.
