Installment Purchases Largely By Baltimore Families
A 1928 survey of 506 federal employees in Baltimore and four other cities shows 41.5 percent used installment plans in the year. Baltimore led with 60 percent paying installments. Chicago about 50 percent. New Orleans 38 percent. Boston 35 percent. New York 26 percent. Most families earned under 2600 annually, many between 2000 and 2600, with no clear link between income and installment use. Furniture topped purchases, followed by clothing, radios, automobiles, and musical instruments amid deficits for many households.
