UPkEEp OF AUTOMOBILES BIG
FACTOR TO De CON-
slpEREp.
MANY PLANS FOR
FINANCING DEALS
Many Dealers Offer Time on Pur-
chase Of Cars in Spite Of the
Soarcity-Pioking Of Car With Low
upksep Cost Important Factor for
Those Who Buy on Time.

Many prospective buyers of auto
mobiles ure under the impression
that they must pay cash for the full
purchase price of the car. Many
dealers do operate on this cash basis.
particuiaorly now when orders are
many are cars are few, but even
now majority OF them follow a GER
tain freedom In sales. This applies
In large cities as well as here, and
one may purchase an automobile in
many ways IL all cash is not readily
available.
Most of the local dealers are at
present operating on cash basis,
but they will accept bankable notes,
and 1t is very probable that when the
scarcity of cars has passed, the
monthly payment plan will be the
rule rather than the exception.
Plans for Payments.
However. a great many dealers are
able to finance the buyer, accepting
one half or oDe-third the list price
in cash and taking notes for the re-
mainder. If longer time is allowed
the dealer usually requires that the
car Be insured and he holds tho IL
surance,' so that in case of accident
or fire he will not lose on the deal.
Many dealers prefer to deal direct
y with financing companies. In
larger cities, concerns of this kind,
make a business of financing auto
mobile buyers and even men who
want to become dealers.
If you are a salesman and want
an automobile for your business, 1t
Is usually possible for you to get the
concern to buy one for yau. allowing
YOU to pay for it out Of your salary
or commission.
Upkeep Important Factor.
In buying car. whether old or
new, one should consider the upkeep
because II the upkeep is large one is
at once confronted with a double
problem--that Of paying for the car
and also to pay to keep it running.

One finds in the medium priced field
that about three fourths of the cars
are assembled cars, made up or
clutch. engine, transmission. aXles,
etc. which are made by parts
makers. The car manufacturer only
puts these parts together. Your de-
probation will be lower and the pos
sibility of mechanical trouble avoid
ed if you select, known units by we'll
known concerns.
You perhaps have heard of such
names as Continental for engine.
Brown Lipel for transmission. Tim
ken for axles and so on. 1t is usual
for these concerns to sell units only
to q concern that submits its plans
7 so the parts maker will know what
kind of car their units are going into.
In this way the manufacturer pro-.
tects himself against the possibility
of a car manufacturer buying good
engine and cheap transmission units,
and using the engine makers name
as feature to sell the car.
