CREDIT INITIATION ON EASY PAYMENTS

There seems to he a disposition among various commentators upon the business situation Of 1926 to regard the large total of instalment buying IS q species of credit infla- ton; some Of them go SO far as 10 say it is the only dark spock Of a cloud on tho business horizon of lhc year.
 If prosperity continues. how ever, there need be no great fear about the credit imitation of install mont buying, It is whcn prosperity takes a slump that such infation produces trouble. As all common- tators from Secretary Hoover down seem 10 be of the opinion that prosperity during 1926 will not only equal, but will Surpass that Of 1925. r this is the case, then there can he no great misgiVings ! over the mortGaging of future earning power through instalment buying. IucMly nobody appears in- clinoI to make forecasts for 1927,
 The idea that only real estate, i motor cars, pianos, or highpriced . luXuries comprise the articles sold on deferred payments seems 10 be incorrect; the articles mentioned, with the exception of automobiles, always wore sold in that manner. II Is estimated that debts totalling botWren two and three billion dol- lars have been contracted on other articles of trade --- and there is no doubt in the least that the disposal of vast quantities Of goods upon the deferred payment principle eX- crtcd a marked stimulant upon the
 prosperity Of 1925. It is doubtful whether instalmont sales in 1926 can be stimulated much beyond the
 present level; indeed, business eX'
 ecutives of conservative disposition
 think it would be nadViSable 10 dc
 SO even were 1t possible The dan
 ger lies in ioopardizing large sum'
 of money when there is a business

BAKERS ADMISSION
