Pay as you go versus credit temptations in family tale
A young mechanic Charles Matthews begins house keeping and accepts a trade credit from Mr. Waldron for jars pickles and a chain. Wife Hannah argues cash payments save money and avoid debt. The quarterly bill reveals rising costs, prompting Matthews to abandon credit, pay down debt, and adopt cash purchases, ending with a wiser, debt-free plan and a cottage ownership.
