There in O. serious menace TO the
whole automobile industry and q grave
danger to the automobile dealer In too
great spread of the installment plan
feature in buying motor cars. I can
see no necessity for such a selling plan
in these times of prosperous business,
and feel that the introduction and en-
enlargement of the scheme is perhaps
due to over-anxiety on the part of GER
tain manufacturers to market their
this years output.
1T is my opinion that no greater ca
lamity can ultimately overtake the au-
tofnobile business, including the manu-
facturer. the dealer and the individual
buyer than for the leading factories to
adopt a deferred payment sales plan.
and / cannot believe that the leading
manufacturers are really giving serious
consideration to such a plan.
The installment plan Of buying is
fundamentally wrong, regardless of the
article involved. This is especially
true as applied to automobiles. The
automobile business was started on a
cash basis. 1t is the only big business
that has ever been operated on a cash
principle. and in my judgment the cash
basis is one OF the biggest reasons why
the automobile industry has grown 50
wonderfully fast. Cash sales have
made possible the rapid building up OF
| big reserves of capital. Plenty OF
| liquid capital has made possible rapid
expansion, improvements In manufao-
turing methods, and quantity produc-
| tibn. Quantity production has made Il
possible for motor car makers to mar
ket constantly improved product at q
/ edntsantly lowering price.
! The automobile is one Of the few
things In everyday use which has moi
advanced rapidly In price in the last
| few years. And all these favorable
conditions connected with the market
| ing Of automobiles can be traced, ir
