local Retail Credltmen's association
at the La Grande hotel last evening
and heard the address by Frank T.
Caldwell, of St. Louis, the field sec
retary for the National Retail Credit
association.
Mr;vCaldwell explained in his open
ing remarks that he did not claim
any powers of prognostication, nor did
he come as an "expert" with the
Intention of prescribing remedies for
local conditions In particular, but
said that credit conditions are much
tho same throughout the nation and
certain definite principles apply
everywhere.
He stated his belief that, though
there 1b nothing wrong with the
principle- of installment buying (or
selling), there have been frequent
abuses of the plan, one of the great
est evils being the ceaseless, cut
throat competition between mer
chants in gradually lowering down
payments and extending the time
allowed for completion of the Install
ments, until In some Instances the
articles sold have either worn out
or become obsolete before they were
paid for. 1
