Early American consumer credit was merchant or industry specific, initially centred around individual department stores but soon being extended to a network of merchants owned by oil companies and telegram providers (see Calder 1999 Hyman 2011 Marron 2009 Steams 2011). From a relatively early stage, the card (in many cases, a term that accurately described the material) or a similar wallet-sized object (I will return to this) - emerged as essential to these forms of consumer credit. These objects, bearing the name of the merchant alongside details of the account holder, enabled the carrier to identify one s account to a centralized credit system that was available at multiple locations, or multiple merchants within an industry-specific network (Stearns 2011 6). As with many forms of early US consumer credit, these were charge cards , which meant that they enabled the extension of credit on a limited basis, with the account expected to be repaid in full at the end of the month.
