Légende

Beauties of the Installment Plan, 1883. Print shows at center, a "Profits" driven retail salesman who lets his merchandise go "Cheap" and at a "Bargain" through an "Easy Payments" plan depicted in the jaws of a trap, with an "Agreement", also depicted in the jaws of a trap, that states "Goods forfeited if installment not paid when due". Vignettes surrounding the central figure show such merchandise as chairs, carpets, beds, "the Baby-Carriage", a stove, sewing machine, and the dinner table, being "carried off" for failure to pay on time. From Puck magazine..
