- Description
A furniture salesman describes to a young couple the attributes of a cabinet with the heads of Cabinet Ministers as handles on the drawers. A card on the top of the dresser says 'National Cabinet'. A newspaper clipping dated Aug. 6 is attached to the top right of the cartoon; its title reads 'Hire purchase no longer evil'. Refers to a statement by Minister of Industries and Commerce, E.H. Halstead, that hire purchase was on a good basis so people should buy using 'easy terms'. Refers to the economic policy of the National government that debt was not necessarily a bad thing.
