KLO, we’re good. I saw nothing wrong in your post, and I meant no harm in mine.
I don’t know if Singer was the first sewing machine company to offer a payment plan, but it was one of the first. In my Mom’s Singer papers, there’s a Bill of Sale, Chattel Mortgage, Promissory Note, Warrantee, and Payment Coupon Book (empty, so she must have made all of her payments). It’s all explained in a formal letter from G.R. Hillier, Manager, Singer Sewing Machine Company, Acceptance Department, Los Angeles. Remember the payment coupon books that you had to tear a little perforated piece out of it and include it in with your payment?
