ITEM: In 1910, small stotes
representing 66 percent of all
grocery stores accounted for 12
percent of the sales. Sixteen per-
cent of all grocery stores were
"superettes” and they accounted
for 13 percent of the sales. On
the other hand, supermarkets,
representing only 18 percent of
all grocery stores, took in 75 per-
cent of the sales.

BY THE OLD TIMER
From Mrs. William Fehrs, Sr.,
Woodhaven, N.Y.: I remember
our school, which was torn down
a long time ago. It had a tower
at the top of the roof where the
Minutemen were stationed, wait-
ing for the British to appear. One
teacher told my brother that the
principal would go up in the
tower with a spy glass to watch
for boys that were going to skip
school. I remember we had one
teacher for the whole term, and
in addition to our studies, we
learned manners and respect.
Our neighbors were poor, but
my father, being a roofer, made
a good salary. Once he bought a
phonograph with a morning-glory
horn. He invited everybody in
and started playing “The Star-
Spangled Banner”. When he play-
ed “Home Sweet Home”, they
knew it was time to leave.
During World War I, there
were large barrels in front of
stores with signs that read “Drop
all your peach pits here, so we
will have enough to make char-
coal for the gas masks for our
boys over there.”

an application before Feb.
2, 1972, to take the Civil
Service Examination.
Tests are given on Jan.
8, Feb. 12, and March
11. Applications not re-
ceived by Feb. 2, 1972,
will not be eligible for
in complete accord with
present policies and the
board indicated it would
refer the matter to the
Classroom Teachers As-
sociate for joint work on
a workable plan. One pro-
vision in the agreement
Monday was that the
teacher could return to
the system with the same
seniority if a position was
maternity leave of ab-
sence by a teacher. The
other than legitimate. As
a "Holder In Due Course",
the bank is legally entitled
to expect payment to be
made by you according to
the terms of your note.
All well and good so far I
But, consider this sit-
uation: As you begin to use
dryer from one of the local your new appliances, sup-
appliance dealers in your
city. You sign a time in-
stallment contract and
promissory note for the
total purchase price, pay-
able in monthly install-
ments ranging from 12 to
36 months.
(It should be noted that
the time installment plan
is utilized in the purchase
of furniture, dance les-
sons, etc. as well as ap-
pliances).
Your promissory note
for the total price of the
washer and dryer is in
turn assigned or trans-
ferred by the appliance
dealer to a bank or other
leading institution. By the
terms of this Assignment
or transfer, the appliance
dealer who sold you the
washer and dryer is paid
in full by the bank and you
now begin to make regular
payments to the bank for
the purchase of your ap-
pliances. The bank, who
owns your promissory
note now, is probably a
"Holder In Due Course."
So what does this mean
to you, a consumer? Leg-
ally speaking, it means a
great deal in terms of
the rights and liabilities
of all three parties -- you,
the appliance dealer, and
the financial institution—
to this everyday commer-
cial transaction.
What exactly is a "Hold-
er In Due Course"? Gen-
erally, a "Holder In Due
Course" is one who takes
a negotiable promissory
note in the regular course
of business, paying a val-
uable consideration for it,
and who has no reason to
believe that the original
transaction between you
and the appliance dealer is

IN THE WARMTH

raa
pose the dryer ceases to
function due to faulty in-
stallation by the appliance
dealer. If the dealer is a
reputable one, he will re-
pair it or see that it is
installed properly pursu-
ant to your warranty. But
suppose that the appliance
dealer has in the mean-
time quit doing business
or has moved from your
city and cannot be located.
What do you do now? Can
you legally cease making
payments until your dryer
is repaired or replaced?
If the bank is a "Holder
In Due Cause", the answer
is no.
Remember, the bank
paid valuable considera-
tion for your note. It paid
the dealer cash in full. It
makes a profit from the
interest you are paying
on the note, and the bank
more than likely would
have had no reason to be-
lieve the dealer was other
than reputable. (Or at
least it will be extreme-
ly difficult for you to
prive otherwise).
Where does this leave
you legally? This leaves
you with monthly install-
ments to pay on your note
stuck with a faulty ap-
pliance with a question-
able appliance dealer un-
available.
Before signing the con-
tract and making your
purchase, know with whom
you are dealing. Is he a
reputable and honest bus-
inessman?
Remember, when pur-
chasing products or serv-
ices on the time install-
ment payment plan, your
contract and note in many
cases will be assigned to
a "Holder In Due Course."
