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. Industry may have felt
that it would force the continua
tion of government regulation of

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

“Because, as I see it, orders oo
the books are an indispensable

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. The gov
ernment admits there is great
danger of inflation unless money
does go into some channels other
than the purchase of rapidly de
pleting merchandise.
