Several kind folks emailed me reminding me that Mayberry folks did indeed have charge accounts and did not always pay cash. I purposely did not mention that in my post about credit as I guess I did not consider that as a debt as the folks would most likely have paid their accounts in full at the end of each month. I know in our small town all the merchants offered free charge accounts for the convenience of their customers. Of course everyone was expected to pay the account in full at the end of each month as my mother always did, so I don't think people would have run up very large amounts.
I love it when people respond to me about things I post. It means someone is actually reading them and is interested enough to continue the conversation. To me that is the greatest thing about the Digest. -- Ken Anderson The Mayberry Guru 2906 May Street Eau Claire, Wisconsin 54701 www.mayberryreflections.com _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
