the number of cars so purchased per
year rather than considering as the
foremost factor the average amount
of inStallment paper due at any one
period of the year Too frequently
critics think of practically the entire
annual output being purchased on the
installment plan, and do not fully con
slider the fact that after export sales
are deducted only GA per cent of the
remaining vehicles are sold on the in
stallment basis. Then. too. it must
be remembered that the established
rule of one-third in cash very greatly
reduces the volume of installment
paper.
"A further glance at the volume of
inStallment paper will enable the
alarmist to see that little more than
one-half of this paper is due at any
one time. A valuable study on this
subject was recently made by Milan
Y, Ayres, who gave some Illuminating
figures on this aspect Of time pur-
chase of motor cars.
Mr.. Ayres' figures showed that at
any one time the maximum amount
owned by time-payment car buyers
was only Sd per cent of the total
amount of the annual installment pa
per. Not 54 per cent of the total
value of the cars, but 81 per cent Of

"A study of motor car sales shows
that January and February are un-
usually late months. but the great
selling months are April, May, June
and July. 1t is during these months
that other commodity sales are light,
their sales peaks coming in October.

There is no question but that the

motor cars is here to stay. There is
no question but that motor car man
ufacturers and finance companies are
concerned in making sure that this
form of consumer credit is not abused
During the past year some efforts
were made to reduce the initial pay
ment to a very small amount and
have the remaining obligation met on
a weekly payment plan. This did not
prove a success. The risks were too
great. There were too many wouldb
buyers who could make the initial
payment, but when their capacity to
meet succeeding payments was inves,
tigated it was found wanting. The
cost OF investigating the buyers ca
pacty proved too high.
Answering the critics who have
contended that the extension of con-
sumner credit in the form of time pay
ments has resulted in many buyers
mortgaging their future and leopard
iZing their present standing, it can
be stated that surveys in divisions of
industry have shown that the incen-

~ ARTTAL-PAYMEN sales have
- made possible the enormous
volume of production reached
II by the automotive industry
and time buyers have not been
mortgaging their futures and endan
gering their position to the extent
that many imagine.
These declarations are made by
David Beecroft, veteran automobile
editor. writing in the New York Times.
Analysing the aggregate automotive
sales during 1926, Mr.. Beecroft points
out that:
Barely one-half of the motor cars
sold last year were sold on the time
payment basis To be exact, 50 per
cent OF the $3.50, 900 passenger cars
produced for sale in the United States
were sold on the time-payment basis.
No involved calculation is necessary
to arrive at this approximation.
"Of the 4.4S0 900 motor vehicles pro-
duced last year, approximately $685.
600 were passenger cars. OF this num-
Der, IL per cent were exported. or
AIS, 900 vehicles thus leaving q total
of S,475 900 to be sold in the domestic
market. Only Ga per cent of these
were sold on the time payment basis.
This leaves a total of 2,224,000 ve-
hicles, in round numbers, to be sold
on the time payment basis.
Sewing Machine Pioneer.
'"The impression has become a real
fly in the minds of too many that pur-
chasing on time payments is new
and partially understood science of
purchasing. Time-payment purchas-
ing in industry with reliable and well
established concerns is nearly three
quarters of a century old, the sewing
machine field being a pioneer in that
form of merchandising. In the motor
car industry 1t has been approx
mately ten years since the inception
of this movement, and in the last five
years rapid progress has been made.
Again, it should be kept in mind
that while 64 per cent of the passen-
ger cars sold last year in the domestic
market were bought on the time
payment plan, a most substantial cash
payment at the time of purchase re-
duced the total volume of indebted
ness. or notes to be paid in the follow
ing IL months. very materially.
1.-THE standard rule with practically
all finance companies is that on new
cars SO 1-3 per cent of the selling
price of the car must be paid in cash
at the time of purchase. This policy
has been in force pretty generally for
two years. This large initial pay
ment serves as a protection to the
buyer and also the seller. One-third
in cash is sufficiently large to give
the buyer a definite sense of owner
ship in the vehicle. This goes far
to insure promptness in meeting the
IL remaining payments. Paying one
third in cash is a protection to the
dealer in that the amount due is
sufficient to cover the resale value of

per cent, figure a little in advance

may have been due to overzealous
! sales on the part of dealers, where
the capacity to pay was not inyesti-
gated as carefully as it should have
been; and it may have. in a measure,
been due to n few spots in the coun-
try where payments were extended
over "a months instead of IL months.
The 24-month payment plan has been
generally discouraged by manufacture
ers and finance companies.
THE time-payment plan of buying
T1OlOT cars IL uSeu NOT only Oh new
cars but in the purchase of used cars
as well. Fortunately the finance com
panies, the motor car dealers and the
manufacturers have recognized that
the risk is greater in the sale of used
cars than in the sale of new ones,
and larger initial payment plan was
set up. Used cars are sold with a 40
per cent cash payment, and the re-
naming payments are spread over
II months, similar as in the pur-
chase of new cars. The volume Of
used cars sold on the installment basis
is such as to represent one-third as
much inStallment paper as represent
ed in the sale of new cars. Here,
again. practically all of the finance
companies are a unit in requiring 40
per cent in cash as an initial pay
ment, and the remainder spread over
Il months. The average carrying
charge in the purchase of a used
car is Is per cent, as compared with

There has been a gradual reduc-

must be borne by the owner in the
purchase of new cars during the last
four or five years. The present figure
of 10 to 1919 per cent compares favor
ably with Is per cent a few years ago.
