/ event the money was refunded
and that the corporation would
mot be organized until there was
enough money definitely in sight
to carry the project through to
completion.
The early organization of the
corporation was deemed advis-
able at one time in order to au-
thorize the Mississippi Chemical
Corporation to make certain COM
mitments to engineering firms
and others on a contingent basis.
At that time it was thought this
could be done without mourning
any expense against the funds
deposited by the stock subscrib-
ers. When it was discovered this
was not true, the organization Of
the corporation was accordingly
delayed. The Board Of Directors
OF the Mississippi Chemical corp
Grafton will use a Letter of In
tention' in its dealings with en-
cheering firms or others regard
ing preliminary work which will
be done.
Present plans call for the or
ganization of the Mississippi
Chemical corporation at an early
TALL date. In the meantime, the
stock selling campaign will con-
.inue throughout the state at an

IF YOU'RE an American today
and you don't owe anybody
money, you almost rank as a
museum piece. So widespread has
the buy-it-now-pa -pay-later philos-
ply become in this country that
the government recently restored
controls over consumer credit as
part of the war against imitation.
However. the best intentions of
the government won't save you
if you're determined to spend
your income before you get it in
your pay envelope. Bad credit
practices can cause you plenty of
grief.
0mly 10 Ngoaths
lHE new code covers most nom
luxury installment purchases from
$50 to 5000. If total cost is
over $1,000, you can't take more
than l8 months to pay; if it's
under $1,000, Is months. You
must pay one third down on an
automobile, one fifth down on a
stove. refrigerator, washing ma
chine. radio or television set.
What's more. personal loans
of financial institutions must now
be repaid within Is or 18 months,
depending on the amount.
Despite these precautions, it
isn't expected that the IS. 5.0O0. 900
Americans who buy on credit will
reform completely. With retail
credit at an all-time high of
$l4.000.0 .0OO, 600. it will take more

charge account.
But while it's a poor idea to pay
on long-term basis for things that
wear out quickly, it's often
actually wiser to use the INSTALL
ment plan for buying some types
of Merchandise, such as house
hold appliances. In this way you
keep the dealers interest should

4. What precautions should yox
take IN atplyisg for credit?
Don't cheat - tell the inter
viewer all about your other obliga-
tions, your income and other per-
tinent data. To do otherwise is to
invite trouble.
Read your contract. Find out
definitely if you're signing a
chattel mortgage, which is a lien
on your property that is effective
until your debt is completely
cleared.
Banks rarely issue chattel
mortgages except for automo-
biles. But about half of loan
company contracts are chattel
mortgages. theoretically, your
property is only liable to the
extent of the loan. but usually
there are such heavy interest
charges and legal fees that you're
likely to come out a heavy loser in
the event of foreclosure.
Pay Prosnptly
S. How can you keep yossr credit
good?
Payyow instaltments promptly;
pay rent and utility bills ON time;
don't return too much merchan-
disc that you have bought on a
charge account, and keep your
checking account at the bank in
good order.
