"Thu-a In a atrlou mrnia to tha

great praa4 nf tha Inalallmcnt flan

feel that tha Introduction an4 ancoura
mnt of tha acham la, excapt ta rp
Uonal caaa, a mlatak," aald R. Jt. Col
line, gt neral aaln manager. Biilck Motor
company.
"It la my opinion that no (malar
(alanilly ran tiltlmataly orartaJta tha
automohlla buninca. Including tha manu
facturor, tha dealer awl tha Individual
buyer, than for t ho leading factorlaa to
adopt a deferred payment aaJ plan,
and I run not bHlAva tliat tha Winding
mnniifa' turera ara realty giving acrlmi
conalrierailnn lo audi a plan.
"Tha Inatallinrnt plan of buying la
fwmlwiiiMitally wrong, regardleaa of tha
artlrl Involved. Tbla I aapadally trua
a a applied lo autornobllaa. Tha autumn
blla bualnea waa atartad on a caah
baal. It la tha only fclg bulii that
baa aver b-cn operated on a caah princi
ple, and In my judgment tha caah bant
la on of tha iilgatut teaaona why tha
aiitomoblla Induatry haa rron ao won
dorfully faat. (ah aalea hava mada poa
alhla tha rapid building up of big ra
aarvea of rapltal, I'lanty of lliuld capi
tal haa mada poaalbla rapid axtanalon,
improvamenta in manufacturing rnathoda
and quantity production. Quantity pro
duoOon haa mada it poaalbla for motor
ear maaara to markat a oonatantly Im
Provad product at a tsonatantly lowarlng
priea.
A I war oa r'aah Baala.
Tha automoblla la on of tha raw
thlngg in avrydr uaa which ha not ad
ranoed rapidly In prlca in tna Itat faw
yaara. And all thaaa favorabla condltlona
eonnold with marketing of autornobllaa
ean ba traced, In a vary larga moaaura,
to tha fart that automohllea hava been
anld for caah.
"And now all Ihla ta rhrtnd by tha
Introduction of tha Inatallmant plan of
buying. Tha preaent acrambla on tha part
of thaaa "truat oompanlea'' to foroa au
tomobllaa Into tha hiuida of avarybody
ho haa a faw dollar reitardleaa of the
fact that tha tlma rart of tha contract
la IIMly to work a avr hardihlp upon
tha purehaaer and hla famlly-l tha
worat thing that haa happened In my
ntlra bualneaa axpedenca. If peralatad
lit I believe many purchaaera will Irnpoaa
an obligation ujmn themaelvet which they
will find hard to meet.
"Frankly, I bellava tha praollra In
dulgad ta by thoaa manufacturer wh
anoouraga daalvra to aell car a to any
body and avarybody, by having "truat
corwanlei" carry tha papor-wlth the
daalar'a andortnentla a pinilloua
prautlca which la demined to ruin aoma
of tha baat man In tha automobllo trade.
It ia eaay for the manufacturer lo urg
many daalera Into thla kind if btialtiena,
but In my opinion it ta a policy which
ttould not hava tha endowment of wall
aatabllehtd automobllt cotnpanln"

The Lure of

Now that you're' no longer limited
to paved streets and side curtains, '
make a spurt for open country where
you can let 'er out"
But first of all. be sure of your
storage battery. Start the season
with it in healthy condition and take
care of it all summer.
Maybo it's nil right, but a free in
spection hero will prove it Bring it
in anyhow and get some pointers on
how to make it produce.
