A Comparative Study Of The Truth In Lending Act, Robert R. Riggins

Honors Theses

Consumer credit probably began in the United States early in the nineteenth century, but it has only in recent years acquired such a position of social and economic imminence. Today, credit is an integral part of our life style and the volume of consumer credit sales reaches monumental proportions.

Though credit use has benefits, the unwise use of credit has serious ramifications. Little can be done to protect the consumer from himself, so attention must focus on protecting the consumer-borrower from the lender.

The Effect Of Labor Unions On Real Wages And Prices, Dan Gaske

Honors Theses

In order to discuss the effect o unions, I feel we should first discuss the growth of unions; for at first they had very little power. Although there were unions of some sort or another existing in America since colonial days, it was late in the eighteenth century when they really began to have an influence. This influence began with the rise of the American Federation of Labor. "Led by Samuel Gompers and Adolph Strasser of the Cigarmaker's International Union, this group was composed primarily of representatives of the skilled trades.... These trades unionists felt that the mass movement of …

Restaurants Of Arkadelphia, Sharon Windham

Honors Theses

This assigned Special Studies project was to make a survey of the restaurants and eating establishments of Arkadelphia. This survey and report are to be compiled with other surveys and reports of various areas in a business directory of Arkadelphia.

The purpose of this business directory, it was my understanding, was not only to give its readers ready reference to these organizations but also to give the student making the survey a first hand knowledge of these organizations. This survey has well served its purpose of giving the student, in this case, me, a working knowledge of the restaurants or …
