BILLINGS - Steve Brown from First National Pawn says April is usually a slower month in the pawning business, but this April has been unexpectedly busy. He attributes the rise in customers to recent price increases in everyday necessities.

"A lot of people are having to maybe do an extra loan that they hadn't planned on because of the price of gas," says General Manager Steve Brown. Brown also says that the shop is seeing more and more gold and silver coming through the doors.
