BY WILLIAM ILLMAN.

Whether Samuel Nauclain. presi
dent of the Baldwin Locomotive
Works, is right in advocating going
into debt to buy automobiles is a
question which ought 10 be thrashed
out at this time. when the continued
success of the automobile as an eco
nomical mode of transportation
hinges on intelligent financing of the
buying Of cars.
Mr. Nauclain has uuquestionably
struck u new note in the idea that
the success of the American people
lies in their Willingness to go into
debt in order 10 progress. and coming
from man OF his experience this ad-
vice merits careful consideration. But
the automobile is a unique article
which perhaps cannot he catalogued
Identical with the various other
articles of utility.
The difference is this: \ house and
lot is something man purchases
IS a long time investment III comfort
and sentiment. He still has home
when he has paid the final INSTALL
rent. But, though he seems to buy
an automobile in exactly the same
way, he is, in reality. buying trans
OortatlOn. OIL w men Inc lnitiai cost Ol
one car is but part.
Very few people have caught this
distinction and that is the best argu
ment for warning against the habit of
going into debt to buy car in the
belief that ones money is purchasing z
a definite article which will have a
fxed value at the end of the debt
period.
Purchase Only First step.
The buy ing Sf car is only u step
in the buying of automobile trans
portation. and unless the financing IS
done on this basis there is bound to
he trouble. Evidence of this is found
daily in the remorae Of motorists who
having struggled 10 meet THEN title
payments. find they need a new and
better car and mast make a big sac
rifice of the old car.
This sort of thing il q stumbling
block to the progress of the automo-
bile and the transportation it affords
1t could he avoided by 4 better un-
derstandng of the whole question
One Of the most unfortunate things
that can happen i'll motoring is tC
have car owners Curtail use Of their
machines because of being over their
heads in debt.
Under normal conditions real estate
holdings tend 10 appreciate in value.

increasing the value of his holdings
ThenH are the exceptions, ot course
but if a home is purchased at a time
when prices are not inflated it is an
investment which may even increase
in principal, in addition to the paying
of dividends
The buying OF an autom obile. how
ever. introduces new angle. There is
no infia tion in the price of the aver
age car. yet a machine purchased to-
day will not be worth the original
cost tomorrow. A year from today its
value will have decreased a possible

used merely as An assistance in buy
ing automobile transportation, but it
must not be used as a crutch.
A motorist should avoid being in
debt for his transportation the
same as he avoids being In debt
for his food or his clothing, al
ways bearing in mind that buying the
car is only part of the process of
buying such transportation.
1t is here that he must be careful TO
dffferentiate between "forward' and
reverse" in borrowing.
