To these men it became instantly obvious that the plan was sound, convenient and helpful. It was instantly obvious that our Cash prices and our Budget Payment Plan prices were precisely the same—that no interest carrying charge or any other premium made their purchase any different from that of the cash customer. It’s just a more liberal, more appealing way of extending charge accommodation to the man who feels he could dress better all at one time by spreading payments over ten weeks. We believe there are many thousands more such men in this town and it’s this anticipated increase volume of business that enables us to offer this plan without advancing prices or adding carrying charges. It’s easy to dress as well as you'd like to when you have to pay only one-fourth down and the rest in ten weekly payments (or five half-monthly payments), and to know you're buy- ing highest quality clothing at fairest prices and terms.
