Companies which recently, through its
Executive Committee, petitioned the
Federal Reserve Board TO amend its

ing of their notes on installment sales,

Association of Personal Finance Com
panies, whose annual sessions were con-
cluded in Washington yesterday.
Through a confusion in names, The
Star on Wednesday, linked the conVen-
ton proceedings Of the Personal FL
nance Companies with It's account of
the action taken by the National Asso-
citation of Finance Companies, in a
way that attributed the proceedings to
the latter company. Its attention hav-

facts, The Star takes this opportunity
to explain.
The American Association of Personal
Finance Companies has affiliated COM
panies in 26 States doing an annual
business in excess Of $500,000,000 in
small chattel loans. BY the confusion

was pointed out, does not contemplate
rediscounting the installment sales
