PAYMENT Plan

Without Installm e n t
Method Car Sales
Would Slump

Were it not for the economically
sound basis attained by installment
buying OF automobiles and the in
crease. year by ear, in the num-
Der Of purchases on the payment
plan, the United States might boast
OF scarcely more than half of its
present gigantic total Of 25,000,/ ~
motor cars.
In fact, the system Of installment
buying, although condemned by a
few as an unhealthy economic con
dition. Is now generally regarded as
one Of the underlying factors in the
unprecedented prosperity of Amer
lea, it is pointed out by n. H.
Brooks, general sales director of the
Marmon Motor Car company. Mil
lions Of sales Of automobiles on
payments certainly have played no
small part in the growth Of motor
car manufacture TO first place in
the industrial category, Mr.. Brooks
added.
"In purchasing a car on deferred
payments" he continued, the
American citizen merely is taking
advantage of the sar,o credit priv
ileges as are enjoyed by the larg-
est industries and business houses.
Credit, Of course, is the very es-
sence of business, and there is no
reason why the opportunity TO ex-
ercise this fundamental institution
should not be extended to the in
dividual automobile buyer. BY slmp-
~ dividing his sum Of indebtedneIs

production TO the receipt of his in
COINCIDENCE the term installment
buying.
Purchasing of motor cars on she
time payment plan was Instituted
some ten years ago and has in
creased by leaps and bounds each
year. Now, it is estimated that
more than go per cen of the total
automobile buyers make their pur-
chases on the installment plan and,
contrary TO the belief Of some. APP
vroximately one-third Of tie high
priced cars are sold b. this sys-
TEN. In the medium-nriced field,
the percentage Of instailment sales
amounts to between IS and so per
nNent of the total.
students Of economics and social
life agree that the luxury Of one age
becomes the necessity Of the next.
The automobile. decidedly, has be-
come a necessity and it is evident
thas the average American has
learned TO set aside a specified por-
tion of his income for the purchase
and operation Of his motor car the
same as for wood, clothing and 9TH
er essentials.

New Chrysler At

One Of Louis Meyers first acts

Chrysler, a "T2" town sedan. His
last previous purchase, a Chrysler
coupe, he drove $4,000 miles in Is
months, he said-20,0OO of them de-
voted TO towing a race car. He has
depended on his Chrysler to get him
and his racing mounts to the various
A. A. A. races for the last two years,
including trips from coast TO coast.
IL was a mutual interest in Chrys-
Iers that brought together Louis
Never, the driver and Alden Sampson,

gasoline race. Meyer has been a

Demand Increases
For WHY'S Knight
Standard Six Cars

Production Of the new WHY'S
knight standard six line of motor
cars has been speeded up materially
during the past few weeks and will
be continued Mt high production. ac-
cordinr to officials Of the WHY'S
Overland company. This has been
necessitated bv a continually grow
ing demand for these knight en-
gined skies which round out the
company's group of Willys-knight
cars.
The willys-Knight standard six
made its initial appearance a few
months ago and immediately won a
conspicuous place among the skies in
its price classification.
After hundreds Of these models
had been placed in the hands of
owners. there was a noticeable in
crease in the demand for the stand
ard six which Willys-Overland mer-
chants attribute 10 the outstanding
performance Of the car together with
its introduction in the lowest price
range ever reached by a WHY'S
knight car.
In power and speed accomplish
ments the Willys-Knight standard
six is said 10 set a new high stand
ard Of performance while the quiet
and smooth operation Of its six
cylinder power plant ranks on a par
ity with the WIllys-Knight sleeve
valve engines employed in the two
higher priced series of WHY'S
knight skies.
The Standard Six in nearly every
respect retains the same characteris-
tics of design. performance and APP
pearance as featured in the WHY'S
knight special six and the WHY'S
knight great six. and gives the COM
pany complete coverage in the Will
lys-Knicht division with the price
raages from 1895 on the Standard
Six to S2.695 on the Willys-Knight
Great Six.
This knight engineG model is
marked BY smart body lines with
numerous innovations in interior APP
pointments. The rich upholstery
in the Standard Six blends perfectly
with the striking color combinations
of the exterior.
