TO accept deposits for future deliveries
from It's agents.
James " ellison. sales manager OF
that company, calls attention to this
fact and the practice OF the makers IN
accepting deposits for cars that have
not been built except on paper.
III the Mitchell company were to ac-
cent these deposits with its output of
something more than 5000 cars, SAID
ellison. 1t might have the use OF more
shan $500. 600, on the basis or 500 a car.
Tor the greater part OF the year. ne
Mitchell company does not wish the de-
uosits which generally are taken by
motor car manufacturers at the time
the orders are given. It wants the
agents 10 take the cars and only as
many as they can absorb. The Mitch
eiI company finds it difficult TO make the
eupDly meet the demand.
sTu formulating the policy not 10 con-
finue 70 accept deposits from agents

company is strong enough financially to
forego this practice OF accepting de-
posits- Under the practice as II now is
