quarter meter plan

I remember as a kid seeing ads for TV sets sold on the "quarter meter plan." The set would have a coin box attached, which the buyer would have to feed to run the set. Googling the topic revealed this TIME article that says savvy retailers would attach the meter to the refrigerator, no matter what type of appliance or TV you bought!
