PROVIDING FOR OLD AGE There was an address made before a Chicago college class by Superintendent Graves, of the King Home for Old Men. Among other things, he said: “Only one man in ten thousand is self-supporting at seventy” In the United States there are now 1,125,000 former wage-earners, who are sixtyfive years of age and more, dependent upon public and private charity, at a cost of $220,000,000." If, for the rest of his lifetime, a man buys from a retail credit firm, he has not only to pay the double profit of 25%, but the prices include a charge for the debts of those who can’t or won’t pay.
