Terms Are Standardized
The new Government regulations which have been
applied to the of consumer credit extended by
retailers, banks, finance companies, and others
have merely standardized the amounts of down
payment required and the number of months in
which repayment be made for all selling, lend
ing, and financing agencies in connection with the
items specified i'm the regulations.
In other words the maximum terms will be the
same everywhere. Sellers and lenders all put
the time sale basis. Competition credit

"No," he declared. "The gov
