the Germans were delivering their

movement OF the Germans did not
succeed was due entirely to the work
OF the British air scouts. They re-
ported the coming OF strong German
forces from the north to Gen. dAmade
and the latter promptly called for re-
fnforcemerrts. Delay In their arrival

-Time payment plans for Trucks
was discussed by Walter =. Parker.
of the Commerce Motor Car Co., OF
Detroit. and by Mr.. Gregg, OF the
American Commercial Co., OF Cieve-
land.
Mr. Parker pointed to the vast DIFF.

pleasure vehicles, and declared that
the pleasure vehicle could be sold for
cash. az q luxury and an extravaganza.
while IL was often necessary to sell
the truck on time payment; with
economy and efficiency as the ap-
proach used. and they must be put
into service, on q time basis. to aug
ment the business. He told Of the
success Of the time plan used by his
own company, declaring that they had
sold 153 trucks for a payment OF $3.50
down. and $50 q month. All but nine
OF the trucks had been paid for In full,
and on the nine. which remained I'M

There was $500 of business gain

He advocated the formation OF q
Motor Truck Credit Guarantee asso-
citation. to finance the frst payment
for trucks, discount notes. and buy
noter for motor trucks manufactured
and sold by members Of the associa-
ton. He recommended that the con-
Germ be capitalized at $5000.0 900. the

Mr. Gregg also declared that time
payment plan was vital to the motor
truck business, and pointed out that II
could be success only when the man

together In the plan. Volume Of busi-
ness, he said. means everything to the
manufacturer, and volume could be
obtained by q time payment plan.
But he urges the utmost caution and
conservatism, to safeguard against
fraud--against taking long chances
on credits. Even with the truck as
q mortgaged chattel for the credit, he
every safeguard was taken.
