Hecht Co. and S. Kann Sons
Co. now have installed similar
systems and Jelleff'S is under
stood to be considering such a
step. Revolving credit has spread
across the Nation in the last five
years.
| To establish a revolving credit
account customer should decide
how much his budget will permit
him to pay each month and
multiply the amount by twelve.
The result is the limit of the
revolving credit account that he
can establish. He can use all
or part of this at any time and
is expected to make the monthly
payment he adopted.
The store charges the GUS
toner a fee each month for
maintaining the account. Most
stores here are charging l per
cent on the unpaid balance each
month, One charges 112 per
cent but this includes insurance
to pay out the account in case
of death.
Delinquent 30-day Accounts
Placed on Better Basis
From the stores standpoint it
has proven a handy device to put
delinquent 30-day accounts on
a better basis and the fee has
tended to improve collections.
From the customers stand
point revolving credit is a con-
Ivenience which eliminates a lot
of red tape.
Credit managers particularly
are following results closely in
order to make improvements in
the system when the need is
indicated. A panel of them will
