Many radically different and Sc
riously needed services are in the
offing, according to reports from
the trade. 1t is pointed out that
the merging of financial and Inanu-
featuring interests carries with it a
merging of the car buyers interest
as well to the mutual advantage OF
all concerned.
Particular significance is attached
to the acquisition Of the Yellow
Cab interests by General Motors.
The Former interests are actively
engaged in developing the Hertz
rented car service throughout the
country. It is predicted that the
day is not far distant when the
owners of General Motors cars will
be offered special inducements to
rent Hertz cars when their ma
chimes are being repaired or painted.
Industry Benefits
Big. corporations apparently have
abandoned the idea that there need
be any sacrifice Of business be-
cause the public prefers a particu-
lar type of transportation. Whether
the buyer of transportation takes
his own car to business, rents a
car, takes q motor bus or calls a
taxi. it is realized that the auto
motive industry benefits, however
indirectly.
The Philadelphia Rapid Transit
Company is pioneering along these.
lines. 1t has one of the most high
" developed urban bus services in
America One of its latest plans is
to provide parking space for pas
senger cars at the terminals of its
two elevated r1ads. Here the.
suburban motorist can park his car
for rs cents and receive two tokens
which entitle him to ride to the.
center of the city and back over
the high speed traction lines.
"Since the people today enjoy
better food, better clothing. and
better facilities than they did ten

company, they have gone to the

as a means of preventing the high
way bus from discouraging the
driver of the passenger car. Some
time ago it was predicted that be-
fore long the main highways would
be cluttered with motor buses and
owners of passenger cars would
have no comfort.
Today, on many highway, it is
the passenger car owner who 1ags

Due to the many channels in
which the automotive industry can
now operate, some important SER
vices are being performed for the
automobile owner, who does not fully
appreciate them. This is illustrated
by the enormous. traffic of New
York city.
Five years ago the average driver
was nervous about driving through
congested streets and at that time
was talking. about giving up motor

a car he ought. to use it for bust

a bigger booster for automobiles.
Owing to the enormous financial
backing Of the larger concerns, the
motorist is already being offered
the service of better and cheaper
facilities for financing purchases OF
cars on the partial payment plan.
Chrysler and Dodge have made i'm.
portant strides In this direction, go

organizations will follow shortly.
