''La Semeuse de Paris'' was a consumer credit company owned by the ''La Samaritaine'' department store in Paris. It sold coupons to working class consumers, who paid in installments. They could spend the coupons at ''La Samaritaine'' or other stores. The Art Deco building that housed the company is now a historical monument, ==Foundation== Georges Dufayel developed a system of buying vouchers through installment payments, which could then be spent in stores that accepted the vouchers. Dufayel owned a retail chain that accepted his vouchers, and they were also accepted by independent stores. These included La Samaritaine, which doubled its sales in one year after introducing credit. ''La Semeuse'' was created in 1913 by some of Dufayel's former employees, with a similar credit model. The motto was "Capital must work; workers must have ()". Door-to-door salespeople sold coupons to working class consumers. After making a small down-payment, the buyer could buy goods with the coupon, paying the rest later. They could also wait until they had paid for the coupon before using it, treating it as a form of savings account. The founders were praised by ''l'Humanité'' as "syndicalists and revolutionaries". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「La Semeuse de Paris」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
