    This tilework mosaic fronts a store on S. Main St., Wilkes-Barré, PA. Moskin’s is gone now, as another business now occupies this site, and the owners seem to have kept the entryway as it was. And, commendably, they keep it pretty clean, too!

    In doing a little research, I discovered that Moskin’s was a “Liberal Credit Store”. This I got from an ad in a 1942 newspaper, and I then looked up what such a policy entailed, which is “A liberal credit policy means your company extends favorable terms to buyers who make purchases on accounts or through short-term financing. Offering discounts for early payments or allowing lengthy repayment periods with no penalty are examples of liberal credit terms.” There are risks and rewards with this type of credit, and in our times, such is becoming rarer and rarer, as the use of credit cards has become prevalent.
