First Vice President

quickly, clearly and truthfully as the pictures
on this and the next two pages. In 1859, the
Vice President went to Russia to help open the
American exhibition in Moscow Itbecame the
occasion Of famous informal debate with the
Premier of the US.S.R, Mr. KhruShchev.
Later, the Vice President reported: I said

stantially less to buy a 1853
car today than it cost to buy
a 1858 of the same make and
model a year ago today.
That the whole industry is
worried" Ca mild word is
hardly a secret and this goes
for the manufacturers, dealers,
financing organizations. For
the central fact is that in about
nine out of 10 new car sales, a
trade-in of a used car is in
volved. If a dealer can't move
the used cars he has on hand,
he must at some point stop ac-
cepting additional used cars as
part of a new car sales deal.
Carried to an extreme this
could mean a slash in his busi-
ness of 80 per cent!
Why? The key reason why
is: the compact car.
The reason sales of used cars
didn't surge upward this spring
as they usually do is that peo-
pie who normally would have
been buying used cars bought
compactS instead. This switch
has slashed into used car sales,
put tremendous pressure on
prices, made it difficult for
dealers to move any car except

Mr.. Steinberg said. IF we don t
collect, we don't get a cent
from the client"
Migration Problem Met
Mr.. Steinberg, a former pres
ident of the American Collec-
tors Association, the national
trade group, says an increas-
ingly large part of his business
comes from out-of town clients,
THE American public is on
the move" he said. And when
they move, they ooften leave
bills behind"
On the basis of their CORES
pondence, company officials
have been able to plot some of
these trends. Into the WASH
ington area. for example, come
many Southerners - although
few WaShingtonianS conversely
move South. Outward migra-
ton from the city has been
largely in the direction of Cali
fornia, they say.
Mr.. Steinberg commended
the trade association, which
fosters ethical methods of COL
lection, for bringing about
acceptance of the collection
agency as an important part
OF the economic picture"

The used car market is ap-
preaching a state of near crisis
"a development which may be
disaSterous for some fringe auto
dealers but which also may
benefit buyers.
Item: Used cars are piling
up on lots of franchised dealers
at an unprecedented pace.
A reliable estimate is that
more than is million cars are
on the lots of franchised deal
ers today. This excludes cars
on independent lots. 1t covers
autos which mostly are not
over six years old.
Item: The supply of used cars
on hand is at an all-time peak.
Automotive News places the
inventory of unsold used cars
held by franchized dealers at a
38-day supply compared with
a 28-day supply at this date a
year ago. The most conservative
estimate is that the unsold
supply is at least Is per cent
above a year ago."
Item: Prices of used cars are
fading away, particularly on
late models and new lows are
being made for 1957s. 1855,
l959S, 1960s.
Prices Sinking
This past week. the average
price of used cars sold at
wholesale auction fell $21 to a
new low for the year at $947,
according to the Automotive
News index. Price declines for
the 1959s ranged to "a whop-

81 know you'll want to get
rid of this bill right away" a
pleaSant-voiced collection agent
told a reluctant Washington
woman in a telephone conver-
Sation one recent morning.
But the Northwest woman,
who owed $54.95 on an encyclo-
pedia bought in 1857, was hard
to convince.
Its pretty hard now," she
replied in a monotone. I've
been sick for a long time"
"Well, your husband has a
pretty good job" the agent
coaXed, glancing at some in
formation on a card. He lis
tened sympathetically to her
problems, real or imaginary,
then asked her how she would
like to schedule her payments.
Payment Promised
Hesitantly, she agreed to
mail $50 to the agent that
afternoon, the remainder in 80
, days.
I'll do my level best" she
promised.
No strong-arm tactics, no
threats, no insults. The agent,

and partly as the firm was able
to overcome old feelings
against the business.
I'VE believed most creditors
would bend over backward tc

we wanted to do the same" he
Explained.
High Glass Clients
After l3 years in the busi-
ness, Mr.. Steinberg can point
to a blue-chip list of clients,
including utilities, department
stores, physicians and banks
who have subscribed to his the
orieS.
When a new delinquent ac-
count is referred to the firm
by "a client, Capital Credit
mails a notice to the debtor
asking for payment.
Some people respond i'm
mediately, but most, according
to Mr.. Steinberg, "try to ignore
it, thinking it will all blow
over"
After that. one Of Capitals
20 unit managers-each as
signed a portion of the alpha
bet-will usually telephone the
debtor. A card is kept on each
one with name, address, the
amount Of debt and a history
of previous delinquent accounts,
If any.
A colored tab above the card
indicates when the unit man
ager should call the debtor
again, if no payment arrives as
promised. Each unit manager,
most of whom are former sales
men. normally makes about 100
calls a day and is a paid a
salary plus commission.
Reminders a Kew
"He deals mostly with very
poor business managers who
have fallen behind on thei1
payments" Mr.. Steinberg said
Those people need a lot OF
reminding and a lot of selling"
He added that most people
are less inclined to pay a bill
after considerable time has
elapsed than they are at the
time of purchase. Consequently,
Capitals unit managers act
on a new bill as quickly as
posSible-and usually stick with
it until payment is forthcoming
! When. for example, a debtor
promises on Tuesday to mail
a check that night, the chances
are he will get a call on We'd
nesday morning if the payment
has not arrived. He begins to
get the feeling that the COL
lection agent has only one
account to work on, and that
he might as well get it paid.
The unit managers, who are
the keys to Capitals success,
are picked for such qualities
as high intelligence, ability to
reason quickly, inquisitiveness,
forcefulneSS, persuasiveness and
ability to get along with others.
If an applicant succeeds in
passing a four hour battery of
aptitude tests administered by
a part-time staff psychologist,
he undergoeS two weeks of
classroom work. His on-the-job
training normally continues for
six months before full accept
ance to the staff.
Managers All Men
All of Capitals unit man
ayers are men. officials of the
firm say they would have no
objection to hiring a woman for
the job, but none with the
necessary qualities ever has
applied.
Based on several hundred
collective years of experience
in the field, Capital officials
categorize their debtors in this

gan Research Center survey of
consumer intentions is scarcely

mid-1959.
COmpaets Selling
Yet, as is often the case,
what is the sellers problem is
the buyers bargain, and this
may be particularly SO in the
used car market.
Many who are buying the
compactS are doing so because
they think it's the smart thing
to do now, are bewitched by
the idea of saving a few pennies
