headed Answer to Question
30.D
| According to my recollection, the
following is submitted.
In 1912 my wife and I pur-
chased a 1912 Pontiac at cost
of $500. The initial payment tthe
amount of which do not recalD
was made from our own resources
and the balance financed through
the GMAC.
After the war, 1t was impossible
to buy a new automobile. On or
about January %, 1916. my wife
and I purchased a 1941 Chrysler
for 81, 140, all cash. title taken in
the name of Mildred and jeanne
Barrett. sold the 1912 Pontiac
and believe I received $1,000 for
it. My wife and I. as trustees, had
been building up a little savings
account for our daughter, jeanne,
in the Oriental Building and Loan
Association of Washington, D. c.,
Acct. No. 1874. With the con-
sent of our daughter, we withdrew
$500 from that account on Janu-
airy Is, 1916. That money, to-
gether with what I received on the
balance of the 1912 Pontiac, pro-
vided the source of funds for the
purchase of this car. This car,
being a secondhand car, prac-
tically fell apart and made it diff
cult for me to use same as detec-
tive.
On February 8, 1946, I pur-
chased 1941 Buick costing ST.
400, from the Arcade Pontiac
Company. I added seat covers
and some accessories, running
close to 500. This car was also
unsatisfactory in my work and
sold it for $500 on March IL.
1916. On the same day, I sold the
l941 Chrysler back to the Allen
Motors Company for approx
mately what I had paid for it.
On March %, 1916, we pur-
chased a new 1916 Pontiac sed-
anette from the Arcade Pontiac
Company at a total cost of $1,371.
I added accessories and spent a
good deal of money in repairs be-
cause the transmission from time
to time refused to function. paid
for this car out of the proceeds of
the sale of the two cars mentioned
in the preceding paragraph.
On May 3, 1916, I bought a new
1946 Pontiac sedan coupe at at a
total cost of $1,583.40. l do not
have my records, but as I recall it.
1 paid a down payment and f.
Inanced the balance through the
GMAC. I used this car in my
police work until some time in
August or September, 1947, when
I sold the same to my sister, Mrs.
Marie Lanahan. She financed the
whole deal through the GMAC
and as I recall it, I received a
check from the finance company
for $1,575.
On July 9, 1916, purchased a
1916 Oldsmobile sedan for ST.
919.84, using what funds I had left
from the sale of the 1941 Buick
and 1941 Chrysler. Title was taken
in the name of my wife and
daughter. This was done to COM
pensate my daughter for the $500
we had borrowed in the purchase
of the 1941 Chrysler and the car
was used almost exclusively by
them or for the pleasure of my
mother, then widowed, and used
by me infrequently. Accessories
and repairs added to the cost. ]
sold this car to the Arvin Motors
about March II. 1947, for $2,350.
On December II, 1916, I pur-
chased 1916 Buick from the
Hyattsville Motor Company fol
300, at the same time selling
the 1946 Pontiac sedanette back
: to the Allen Motors for $1,750
which funds went into the pur.
chase Of the 1916 Buick.
The latter car also gave me
considerable difficulty and in Feb
