There's A Reason 1 saw a piece in the paper t lie oth< r day that said in part: "The coicmercial eredit companies have wit stood all of the terrible shocks of the past few months of hard-times without appreciable losses." As you know, dear friends. :lvose credit companies are the firm.- that took a mortgage on our car* and radios and refrigerators and machinery, and helped us along and kept us riding and listening and eating cool fo?*l. The reason why those credit companies have done so well is?they always got pa first mortgage on you stuff, after you had paid (probably; about one-half of its value, and of course that meant a mortgage <n your earnings till the debt was paid, or you'd have to give up the stuff they had a claim oil. and that w<>u'd have been terribly awful on you ami your family. So they came first in well as last. Ami furthermore, the firm who helped you made you promise to pay an installment every month?regardless of -i.kness, death, storm, fire or brims' nr. And besides having i inortgagt en you and the stuff i n question!, they made the man who sold it t<? you endorse and guarantee t.ie paper. >o you see-?Alfonsy, yo i nad to dtstri.y the property purcha-ed. and you and the man you iKiught the car radio ice box-piano from in. t to nu b oke before the eredit cornpan;. . ouId cot hurt. I'r Tie. tern Goode told me last week that ru* could not get a mortgage on the pills he gave and thw marry trips he made to see his sicK patients while they were paying the credit company with the money the.\ owed him. and my grocer lamented the fact that much of his flour and meat and sugar money went to those wonderful finance corporations, and that's possibly why they had not yet suffered any ldsses of any consequence. A few people will pay the man who trusts them before they will pay the man who won't trust any last year. Nearly everybody I ever body, but both of them moved off knew was honest?(if they happened to have more money than they needed) -but it aee?n? that aome folks don't oonaideil a debt an honest debt unieaa they signed a mortgage netting it forth. (At leaat, Uncle Joe thinks ho.) Some folks will' actually read a newspaper on credit and forget about, it. I know a man who thinka heS xoing to heaven on credit. He's always going to pay the preacher next week. I guess he thipka salvation is free, and mebbe it ia, but churches and pianos and organs and song books and repairs and insurance coat something.
