• Save—Save—Save—that’s our theme song for the
Goodrich Commander—the greatest thrift tire ever of-
fered to American motorists. There’s really no comparison
between these big, sturdy Commanders and ordinary
bargain-built tires that often cheat motorists out of mile-
age and service. That’s because every Commander is full
dimension and built with an extra deep, extra wide tread.
Keep tire costs down and tire mileage up. Let us equip
your car with Goodrich Factory-Fresh Commanders.

cheap," says Miss Davis. “Obvi-
ously it is not. It is the most ex-
pensive form of credit. Whatever
you pay for it, the price is high.
You always save money if you can
pay cash.
"However, it sometimes be-
comes necessary to borrow money,
and when it is, there are always
several ways to do it. Actually,
few intelligently engineered loans
are ever foreclosed.
"Take the depression year of
1932. In Ohio at that time there
were 129,132 small loans out-
standing, but only 561 foreclos-
ures, only 29 of which occurred
while the collateral in the way of
furniture, etc., was still in use.
The other borrowers who lost
their jobs left town and turned
their possessions over to the loan
company—which usually found
them of small value, however! In
New Jersey in 1936, with
$10,500,000 outstanding, there
were only four foreclosures.”
Legitimate loan companies of-
ten charge as high as 40 or 50%.
Loan sharks may charge as high
as four thousand percent.
In general, the Interest rate is
not the worst danger in borrow-
ing from the loan shark. The
usual aim of illegal lenders is to
get the borrower into debt—and
t0 keep him there.
One type of loan shark operat-
ng within the law in many places
today is the salary buyer, Miss
Davis reveals. Here is how he
works:
"Say John Smith earns $25 a
week, paid on Saturday. On
Thursday he’s broke, and needs
money badly. The salary buyer
offers him $20 for bis pay. He
also makes John his agent to col-
lect his own wages for the loan
shark. Therefore, if John doesn’t
bring the $25 on Saturday, John
is embezzling!
"Until 1916 no reputable credit
companies made small loans, be-
cause the states had usury laws
which prohibited them from lend-
ing at more than 6 or 8 percent
And sometimes as much as 10 per-
cent. The Russell Sage Founda-
Mrs. C. H. Walker, who has
been under the care of a
special physician in Dallas for
several weeks is very much)
improved and will be able to
return home soon.
2hbE
tion once investigated the small
loan situation. They decided to
find out how much it should cost
a legitimate business to make such
loans. The Foundation’s efforts
established, about a half dozen
loan agencies at a cost which
would merely cover expenses.
“Even when the lending agency
was operated as a charity, the
cost was heavy. It was not a mere
6 percent, or even 12 percent. The
expense was more often 30 or 40
percent.”
There are five legitimate ways
to make loans at the minimum
cost.
First is the Pawn Shop, ancient
and venerable source of quick
money. However, if you do pawn
your engagement ring, be sure
you will be in a position to re-
deem it.
Second comes the “remedial
loan society.” This is a philan-
thropic organisation which lends
on chattel mortgages, endorsed
notes, or pledges. But alas!
there are comparatively few reme
dial loan societies.
Third comes the credit union,
which also lends at a low rate.
Credit unions are cooperative or-
ganizations which lend the sav-
ings of a group to some of its
members.
Fourth and fifth, the largest
and most generally available
sources of small loans: the so-
called industrial bank, or the com-
mercial bank with a personal-loan
department; and the licensed per-
sonal-finance company.
Finally, Miss Davis advises
don’t get a loan until you have to
"For economic reasons you maj
not have been able to pay a bit
on time, and after a while you
may begin to receive threatening
letters from a collection agency
which has taken over the account.
While you naturally must settle
the bill when you are able, re-
member that the agency has no
greater right against you than
the creditor had, and has no
legal grounds for embarrassing or
frightening you.” Advises Miss
Davis. •

efforts are being made to re-

ing and according to reports

will be a great day for the
