Paying cash in full is the most economical way to buy—unless doing so means 
a sacrifice of quality, or deprives you of necessities requiring more cash than is 
readily available. Then it is sound economy to use your credit, provided the amount 
to pay monthly can comfortably be spared each month out of income. As little as $5 
a month will buy a lot of conveniences. 
The convenience and satisfaction of having merchandise of the quality you prefer, 
and the use of it as you pay for it, justifies the small extra charge for credit. It is a 
sensible, economical way to buy. c 
Wards Monthly Payment Plan is available to any responsible person. Only 10% 
Down Payment is required on the items listed in this Garden Book. Payments as low 
as $5 a month. If you do not already have an account here, an order totaling $20 or 
more is enough to open an dccount. Those’ who have accounts may use Wards 
“Add-on"’ plan explained below when making additional purchases, 
HOW TO OPEN AN ACCOUNT 
Write your order in the usual way on one of our regular order blanks, being sure 
the order totals $20 or more. Then fill in and sign the Application for credit on the back. 
Minors will also have parent orguardian fill in and sign application. Enclose check or 
money order for the Down Payment and mail to the Ward Mail Order House nearest 
you. There will be a short delay for credit investigation which is confidential. If you 
live near a Ward Store or a Ward Catalog Office, the credit manager there will 
handle all of the details for you. 
REQUIRED DOWN PAYMENT 
It is to your advantage to make as large a Down Payment as you can comfortably spare. 
The minimum Down Payment for Nursery Stock or any other item sold in Wards 
Garden Book is 10%. By making a substantially larger Down Payment, you save on 
the carrying charge and may reduce the amount to pay Monthly. For example: 
Suppose you are placing an $89.50 order on which the minimum down payment is 
10% or $8.95. If you will send us $25 down, your unpaid balance will be only 
$64.50 instead of $80.55—and your carrying charge will be only $6.50 instead of $8.50. 
Your monthly payment will also be only $6.00 instead of $8.00. If your account is - 
paid in full before the first payment is due, there will be NO carrying charge. 
AMOUNT TO PAY EACH MONTH 
Add up your purchases, including any tax or shipping charges to be advanced by 
Wards, then subtract the amount for Down Payment. The remainder is the unpaid 
balance to which a carrying charge is added. Table of Terms at bottom of page 
shows amount to pay Monthly. 
WARDS '’ADD-ON’' PLAN 
If you already have an account with us, you may make additional purchases of $10 
or more to be added to your account. Your order may include items from any of our 
catalogs. The amount of your add-on purchase, plus our usual carrying charge of 
10%, is then added to the amount you owe. Just fill in and sign the ’’Add-on"‘ form on 
the back of the order blank. 
Your monthly payment will not be increased on orders for items in the Garden 
Book unless the new balance requires a larger monthly payment as shown in the 
Table of Terms below.
