TV Set Installment Buying Pre-Korean War Era
A National Credit Office report based on bank and finance company inquiries shows about 70 percent of TV buyers used installments before the Korean War. Most paid 15 percent down and average terms were about 23 months, with banks financing most purchases and department stores likely supplying the largest share of TV financing. Stricter installment rules could alter this pattern.
