Tn Americn, this is nn age of credit, nod ,Kcause it is the Jpeople aru more . equally shareivs In the conveniences and comforts of life here than anywhere else in the world. One commentator, the editor of the National Retail Clothier, uvers that the. American people have gone payment mad." We quesiion if there is any madness about it. Were there the- credit business would soon end in disaster. Instead of that it is-expanding at a great rate, with result that the people are better off than they ever have been before. They acquire wjmt they want when they want it and en joy the use of.it while they pay for it.. : We are told that a vast majority of the wage-earners liave. mortgajjeil their incomes for years to come because of the trend jof' the country to buy luxuries and necessities of life on the "installment plan. This should not arouse fears ; in any breast. Mortgaged incomes mean in most instances hat those who have taken on a burden of debt are aajwrmfiiwrop.c-njwaiid cttJttH,eiimd whntheynn' discharged their credit obligations they will have some thing to show- for It. which they probably never would have were. they( compelled to postpone purchases' until they had' tile, tashready for payment in full. The 'all-embracing credit system enables people to raise themselves out, of the near-pauper class to a position of fiGlf-respect that constitutes a national asset of incalcul able worth. , One granted credit is immediately conscious that someone else has faith in his honesty; the credit goes not merely to his ability to pay at the time agreed upon I ut to l.is character which is adjudged incapable of permit ting him: to default. Them are nil too many characterless people in the country who take advantage of the confi dence tradesmen and merchants are willing to repose in. their fellows, ComHtUtri of Hip Kt'uio'hichwuyH In' Kn4trn Onnfoh ucronlinK.-io ih'c wckly. report of ih Hlui(iiii(li way rommtHKlon tliroiiKh their (II viNioii . i-inl(tiinriTM hi l-u (inmrtf fiilliiww: I n .rnn,,. - Wnlhmit l.nkc : l.u Omndi - Isliiml City: Paved.
