shows that about $2,5OO,O 100000 of
consumer debt. based on install
ment buying is now owed for au-
tomobiles. Other leading INSTALL
ment purchase products are wash
Ing machines, refrigerators and
vacuum cleaners. These all hap
pen to be products which use ma
terials the government needs for
defense. So, to discourage the fu-
ture purchase of these items,
President Roosevelt has felt it
necessary to issue the order:
Curb installment selling"
CURBS bonde
Curbing installment selling may
help to solve more of the govern
ments problems than merely free
ing materials for defense needs.
The President made a careful
analysis Of some of the other
ways it would help keep our econ
omy in balance, and concluded
that it would be helpful in these
ways:
l. TO assist in curbing unwar-
ranted price advances and prof
teering which tend to result when
the supply of goods is curtailed
without corresponding curtailment
of demand.
2. to assist in restraining gen.
eral inflationary tendencies to
support or supplement taxation
imposed to restrain such tenden-
cies, and to promote the accumu-
latlon of savings available for fin
ancing the defense program.
3. to aid in creating a backlog
of demand for consumers durable
goods.
4. to restrain the development
OF a consumer debt structure that
would repress effective demand
FOR goods and services in the post
defense period.
AS the government faces one
new problem after another to
Keep our economy on an even keel
one answer always seems to stand
out. namely: all extra earnings
should be invested in Defense
Saving Bonds.

INSTAlLMENTS -. 10 billion
To the average Twentieth cen
tury American, a new automobile
isn't thought of as costing $1,000,
but as costing $35 a month for two
years, plus an old car for down
payment.
If man earns 5000 a month. he
may take his pay check and go on
a shopping spree with enough
money to make the first payment
on new car, a new house, a
washing machine, radio, a vac
uum cleaner-and still have
enough left over to eat three meals
a day for the rest of the month.
The fact that such purchasing
requires tying up income for years
to come makes little difference to
many people-installment buying
offers them the opportunity to
have the things they want now in
stead of at some vague time in
the future.
Consequently. although install
ment selling on a sizeable scale
is still in its infancy, having
grown up handin-hand with the
automobile industry, the govern
ment estimates that financing of
merchandise and small personal
loans now involve about 10 bill
ion dollars in credit-an average
of $500 for every family in the
United States.
Installment selling was consid-
cred risky business by most bank
ers until after the 1929 crash.
an investment in the integrity of
the consumer, and they had no
figures on which to base the risk
i'll such an investment
In 1929, which was a record
year for the finance companies.
when they accepted consumer in
stallment notes totaling around s
billion dollars, many bankers pre-
dicted that when the prosperity
bubble burst the finance compan-
les would be tumbling over one
another in the bankruptcy courts.
Then the crash came, and when
the bankers recovered enough to
count their own assets, they found
their losses on "gilt-edged" stocks
and bonds during the 1929-'33 per
iod averaged so to IS per cent and
their losses in good safe real
estate averaged 33 to so per cent.
And when they checked up on the
fool-hardy finance companies,
they found those companies were
still in the black-that losses on
consumer installment notes aver
aged less than IL per cent when
the companies wtre getting more
than per cent for their services,
That established definitely the
integrity of the consumer as a
credit risk.
After that. finance companies
had no difficulty getting support
from banks and many of the banks
began making personal loans
themselves. The consumer had
been revealed as an honest man.
HIS TORY -. 49,. . automobiles
AS far back as the Civil war per
iOd installment selling was at
tempted by a few concerns. The
Singer Sewing Machine company
owes a large part of its success to
offering sewing machines to con
sumers on an installment basis
way back in 1856.
But the first type of sales fin
ance company as We know it to-
day was started by a San Francis
&C automobile dealer in 1912.
Such was the success of his
plan that other dealers soon tried
it and in 1915 the automobile man
ufacturers gave the plan their ap-
proval and backing, despite their
previous opposition. The manu-
facturers now admit this decision
was a major factor in the ensuing
rapid growth of the automobile
industry.
