This Iowa Farmer Practiced Fruga|ity, Thrift

The garden, the chickens, the
hogs and the cow would provide
most OF their food, the house

Excess production from the
chickens, the garden, the hogs
and the COW were exchanged
lor such things as must be pur-
chased at the local store. Each
month the earnings of the son
went to the fund that was to
provide a farm for him.
At the end of 10 years, he had
saved through the exercise of fru-
gallty and thrift the amount needed
to make the down payment on 100
acres of the best of Iowa cortland.
AS an Iowa farmer he continued to
practice his system of frugality
and thrift, though he was not mig
gardly. He provided his mother
during the years of her lifetime
with as we'll an equipped farm

MAJOR ECONOMIC EVENT
InstuIIment Buying Was Started
40 Years Ago in Auto Industry

Although there has been no fan
fare to mark it, 1851 is the fortieth
anniversary of a major economic
event-one that has been of espe-
cial Importance to people who live
In small towns. For it was in 1911
that the first automobiles were sold
on installments and the greatest
period Of industrial and social de-
velopment in history began.
The time payment system we
take for granted has brought an
orderly revolution" in our whole
way Of life. Because it has been
a major factor in the development
Of American industrial capacity, it
has had great influence on world
events. It would be a much differ
ent and probably much worse
world to live in if American mer-
chandising genius had not invented
the system of letting people buy
cars out of income.
In the is years between 1895,
when car production really started,
and the end of 1910, total of only
521 ZOO cars were made. The aver
age model cost three years pay of
the average skilled worker. Many
people said the industry had about
reached it's peak. There weren't
many more families who could
afford a car!
Since then, there have been about
100000 cars produced in this
country. There are nearly 40. 000,-
600 in use today by the nations 49,
100000 family units.
What happened is pointed out by
the American Finance Conference,
the association of independent sales
credit companies, in report on the
effects of 40 years of inst 1llmcnt
selling. Enabling people to buy
cars out of income, like homes or
insurance, Immediately broadened

deavor. In this land of ours, op-
poltunity knocks at the door of
most of us. But there are many
who refuse to answer the knock,
who prefer to wait for some one to
do for them rather than apply the
energy, the frugality, the thrift for
themselves. They have been
promised something for nothing,
and prefer to wait for that promise
to be fulfilled, but success will not
be achieved in that way.
Ours is a land Of opportunity for
those who will work, for those who
will practice frugality and thrift.
Automobiles, not war. are the
great American killer. In all our
American history deaths in battle
or from wounds, from the Revolu-
ton down to the latest available
reports from Korea, were respon-
sible for the death of 439, ISL of our
fighting forces. AS against that
the number of those killed, or ia
tally injured by automobiles during
only the past IA years, down to late
November, 1850. totaled 442,97O.
The non-fatal casualty lists for all
wars, to late November, 1850,
totaled 1,l95,885. The non-fatal
auto accident injuries since Jan. l,
1887, totaled 1893, $50. We dread
war, but we take for granted the
automobile killings.

it would be nice to have a guaran-

THROUGHOUT all of our history
! ours has been and still is a
land of opportunity for those who
have initiative, energy and who
apply the principles of frugality
and thrift when needed.
Those who are willing to work
for success rather than expect
others to provide for h m get
along. AS l thought of those who
have eXemplificd that recipe for
success, I recalled an Iowa farmer
who provides an excellent illustra-
ton
He had nothing with which to
start. His father had been a
town carpenter, whose efforts
had provided the essentials for
his family, until his death,
when the son was in his late
teens. He left nothing of world
ly goods.
To the son fell the task of provid-
ing for his widowed mother and
himself. To do that, he must have
job, and the first one that was
offered was that of a farm hand.
The pay was S25 month, during
the planting, cultivating and har-
vesting seasons of each year. For
what would be Approximately three
other months of each year, the pay
would be $40 for each month.
Instead of the room and board
that was usually a part of a farm

offered small house. five rooms.
that had at one time been the farm
family home. and with it approx
mately an acre of ground he could
cultivate as a garden. on which he
could have room 'or chickens. two
or three hogs. and a COW.

the market. This made possible
mass production and sharp reduc-
lions in cost, which in turn brought
cars WITHIN reach of more people.
This stimulated employment and
our whole economy. People could
ouy more and more goods, and with
the lnstallment system spreading
to other lines of merchandise, mod
ern, efficient goods went into mil
lions of modest homes.
Putting the nation on wheels has
changed our cities from dark and
dirty areas around our factories to
| industrial centers surrounded by
clean, light residential suburbs.
FACTORIES are now being built in
outlying areas, where space is not
prohibitively costly, and are spread
out and pleasant. Recreation has
been revolutionized-people 60 far
away on vacations, take Week-ends
in the country, play golf, make the
whole area for miles around a play
ground. Farmer and city dweller
ENJOY the same recreation, cul-
tural facilities and shopping CEN
tiers.
TIE INFLUENCE on the whole
economy of bringing the car within
reach of nearly everyone is shown
by these figures: the nearly 6.OOO,-
CnO cars produced in 1850 used up
the agricultural products of nearly
3,eG0.OOO acres. This includes about
10 ,@00.OG0 POUNDS of cotton. 3,OOO,-
ooO BUS els Of corn, 1920 900 gall
!oAs OF E'o asses. 10000, 600 pounds
of wool, l2,C0O 900 pounds of turpen-
inc and large quaint ties of other
farm products. About so per cent
OF U. 5. rubber consumption goes
INTO automotlve uses, as well as
70 per cent of all plate glass, 69 per
cent of all leather upholstery, IS
per cent of alloy steel and 81 per
cent of malleable iron.
Much of the archaeological and
chemical progress of the past 40
years has been stimulated by the
urge OF the auto makers to find bet
ter ways of making cars, so the
public would buy more of them
on lnstallments. One of every seven
employed persons in the United
States owes his job to the automo-
bile.
The industrial plant that won
World War II and is now our great
est check on Russian aggression
was developed to meet the public's
demand for goods it bought on time
payments.
These are some of the reasons
DR.. A.. Anton Friedrich, noted
economist of New York University,
has called the mass installment
credit system along with the mass
production methods it stimulated
the two pillars of American pros
Perity." And they are the reasons
Isaac F. Marcosson, former presi-
dent of Studebaker Corporation,
said:
1nstallment buying now energies
as the builder of Americas stand
ard OF living. 1t is a revolution
which has lifted the average man
to the level of living once reserved
for the few. 1t is one Of the great
est economic forward steps that
has been devised in modern times"
In only 40 years, the installment
system has become the handspring
OF the American economy. Any
thing that hampers with it threatens
to bring the wheels of American
economy and society to a halt.
Meeting the public's needs as they
see fit, it promises to help make
the next 40 years even more pro-
gressive than the years have been
since that first car was sold on
installments.
