BUYING cars Over a year ago an official in the Office of Price Administra tion showed me a plan for mak ing it possible for people to buy purchase priority certificates re deemable for goods they wanted delivered after the war. i It was a good plan. I don’t re member all the details, but the idea was that if you wanted an automobile delivered as soon as possible after they are being made again, you would buy up | certificates now, name the car' which you wanted, and be assured of getting one of the first to come off the line. There may have been some ma jor objections to this particular plan.

LUXURIES .... logic John Jones works in a ship yard and earns $100 a week— more than he ever earned before in his life. If he was earning that much money in peace time he would probably buy a new car, a new home and a lot of things he had always wanted but had never been able to afford before. But because he can’t buy a car and can’t build a home these days, he is naturally tempted to buy the luxuries which are avail able. So he and his wife spend a of a beautiful new car which is going to be made after the war— and on which he could start mak ing payments. Wouldn’t it be logical for him to go right down to his local dealer, plunk down a first payment, work out an in stallment arrangement and feel real satisfaction over knowing that car would someday be his and would be all paid for when delivered?

When do you tell the customers what goods you’re going to mak-, and what prices you’re going to charge? “Because, as I see it, orders oo the books are an indispensable ingredient in anybody’s postwar plan.

Bankers can’t be sure it’s safe to lend money to finance industri’’! expansion until industry has or ders. And workers can’t be sure that they’re going to have jobs until their employers have or ders.” It looks as though this is tho answer to a lot of problems. Th? manufacturers, most of them, know what their postwar product will be like. They probably can figure how much it should cost as easily now as after the war. The public has the money to start making payments today, and would like to start in.
