The widespread distribution
of all sorts of commodities in
America, things which used to
be considered luxuries only for
the rich and are still so consid-

Over a period of many years
it has been demonstrated that
ordinary people of average in-

keep their promises—sooner or
later. To be sure, there are laws
to compel people to keep their
promises, but in practical ex-
perience these are seldom in-
voked.

ture is based on promises, in
