MODERN METHODS
[Welland Tribune September 8, 1905]
In ancient days we paid our cash
For anything that we might need,
That anyone was rather rash
To buy on credit was agreed.
Who got what he required “on tick.”
The cautious held him under ban,
But now at that we never stick–
It’s all on the instalment plan.
Suburban residences neat
And modern, anyone can get
And have them fitted out complete
From kitchenware to parlor set,
A small deposit’s all required
From any well-conducted man,
So go and pick the home desired–
It’s yours, on the instalment plan.
A diamond engagement ring,
Or knives and forks of triple plate,
A suit of clothes—or anything,
You’ll own them—at some future date,
All that the heart of man can crave
Within his life’s allotted span.
A cradle or a cosy grave,
We buy on the instalment plan.
