A FEW LAUGHSBy Lewis H. Cline1102 W. River Rd. Battle Creek, Michigan 49017 About the time of World War I a Chicago merchandising firm bought out the entire stock on hand of a manufacturer of a very popular table model, cylinder record phonograph. These were sold by mail order, on time payment plan and advertised extensively on the back cover of certain farm magazines. At the bottom of the page, following the advertisement was an order blank for the prospective customer to fill out. For a credit reference they asked for the name of your family doctor. One fellows curiousity got the best of him and he wrote in to the company asking what on earth the family doctor could have to do with buying a phonograph on time, the answer: The family doctor generally gets paid last, and if you have him paid up your credit is good with us.
