• Installment ‘Buying On Increase
“It is really surprising to note that
.installment buying is still increasing
to a great extent. By far the great
"majority of cities report jfh increase in
installment buying. Out of eighty-nine
of the above mentioned cities, which
sent me reports on liusiness conditions,
sixtjs-four indicate the installment
business as increasing; nineteen cities
are now at normal and only six indi-
j Pate installment buying as decreasing,
i Certainly this is not a situation to en
courage one. That is, not if he is will
ing to look into the future. Of course,
it is all tffcry nice to be able to enjoy
the many luxuries which we can get
E | through installment buying; but is it
not much better to first save your
money on the installment plan and
then buy that which^you desire?' At
[any rate, you are then able to call
the sun/
but watch how other smokers
are changing to Chesterfield!
