Automobile Loans
£
If You Are Going To Buy A New Car
“On Time” Here Is the Best
Way To Do It
First, learn from your dealer the trade-in value of
your old car. You should have enough cash of your own
to complete a one-third down payment.
We will lend you the remaining two-thirds of the pur
chase price so that you can paj^ cash for yonr ear. Yon
should, of course, have a regular inctHue that will enable
you to repay the loan in reasonable monthly instalhnents.
You will save money and get better service and pro*
tection than you can get elsewhere. Verify this by mak
ing comparisems.
