Credit and Culture
? 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.
