Credit clothing stores were a lifeline for working-class families in the early 1900s — they let you dress the part without paying all at once. J.H. Farley & Co. in Wilmington, North Carolina was one of those establishments, outfitting the city's working men and their families on installment terms around 1910. Their newspaper advertisements promised style without hardship, in an era when appearances mattered deeply.
