Most people have already made up

they are often greeted at the door and

Chronic postponers, though few in
number, are the chief thorn in the

and in the end the postponer usually
gives.

the amendment filed with the Inter-
state Commerce Commission related
to treatment Of preferred and COM

given as s2.sl2,3e0, a reduction OF
about s4,0Oo,000.

changes in the political and economic
situation" have occurred since the
filing Of the original plan June 10
1896. which will increase the rail-
roads operating costs for 1888 by more
than 100000 as compared with 1896
The debtors new plan said fixed

|NSTALLMENT SALE
PLAN IS DEFENDED
Dudley Gates and W. L.
White Advise Prudent
Administration.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-Prudently
controlled in&tallment retail buying was
pictured as a stabilizing influence dur.
ing periods Of recession by two speak
ers addressing the American Manage.
rnent Association Conference today.
Dudley Gates, vice president Of
Commercial Investment Trust Corp,
said that during the years following
1929 families whose installment pur.
chased goods were repossessed did not
suffer serious economic losses, that the
volume of installment buying reduced
itself due to commonsense Of the pur-
chaser, and that the steady continu-
ance Of installment buying during the
next few years materially helped keep
industry's wheels turning
Wilford L. White, chief Of the mar
keting research division Of the Bureau
Of Foreign and Domestic Commerce,
belittled opinions that installment buy
ing was a material factor in the cur
rent recession and predicted that type
Of purchasing would continue for
some time at rate proportionately
less reduced than that Of general busi-
ness indices.
Mr.. White gave summary of the
present installment credit situation:
The volume of installment sales Is
greater in 1887 than in 1885, but the
rate Of increase Is lower. During 1887
terms have been shortened and down
payments have been generally in
creased.
Although there has been a signif-
cant recession in general business
activity, total monthly retail sales ap-
pear to be running slightly ahead Of
a year ago for the Nation as a whole.
IF unemployment spreads much
further, however, these sales will de-
cline, and in such case experience
shows that installment sales will de.
cline more rapidly than either open
credit or cash sales.
The more conservative irstallmens
policies of retailers, sales finance housei
and banks, which were adopted late 10
the summer or early in the fall, shoulc
reduce losses to buyers and sellers alike
to a minimum.
White held it was good policy tc
require larger down payments and
shorter terms in an upswing than
during downward trend, when lower
down payments and longer terms could
be expected.
