GENERAL MOTORS PLAN SYSTEM TO ASSIST DEALERS (Continued from page 1) ered that in extreme cases, somn retail automobile dealers were carrying more accounts receivable and used car inventories than their total capitalization. Bankers Accept Plan "Many of my contacts on the Dominion-wide survey," sald Mr. Brown, 'were with banker and financial men, who are doing busi ness with retailers, When they learned fer the first time some of the details of our zone organiza- tion and our business management program for the retailers, they voluntarily offered their whole hearted co-operation. When they examined our system of motor ac- counting and learned that we are spending more money than ever on | questionably | fits should dealer aids, they were frankly en- | thusiastiec. Looking to future de- | velopment the bankers and busi: | ness men I met invariably agroed | that improvement of the retailers' | ta, was a fundamental essen- | tial. "For some years we have been | advocating proper accounting | menos as ona nf the essentials in successful retail automobile ac- [ tivity, Through a subsidiary of | our organiation we have provided several accuntine systems, all par | ticularly well adanted to the nceds of the retail automohile trade. | "These systems vary only in de- | tail according to the extent of the retail activity, We have aided our | dealers to install these acanrntine 5 wvstema at an ont'ay muh balew | the cost to ovreelver, We hav | also provided them with a nerind feal audit and checking worvice { In this procedura we have ad | vanced to the point where apnrox- | imately 75 ner cant of the volume of our retail sales is now covered by nroner accounting, "This step. while necessary he- | fore furt | sible, by no means completes the process of developing successfu! merchants, which wag "our chief object in the hexinning.

Guide to Dealers "After soveral | we have established Dominjon and | zone averages based on actual sales. A dealer's redt, his office | overhead, and so on, are figured as at so mueh per $100 in relation to his new car sales, and can he | readily compared with the average overhead for the zone or for the Dominion, These figures are un- of great value as guide to dealers. We have also | made detailed surveys of possibil- | {tiles of new car sales in given ter- ritories and know what gross pro- car contract of any size. From this we are able to edlculato what a dealer's maximum expenditures should he, going into all the de- tails such as the amount of rent and other evnensecs, both fixod and variable, that are within the lim- its of the dealer's contract. We are making every effort to see that all new dealers are set up on this basis and that existing dealers re- vise thelr hue'naey methods to con- form with what we know to be sound practice. We are also show- ing clearly the point hetwecn pro- fit and loss on all dealerships for One Skinny Man Gained 4 Pounds With One Box McCOY' Cod Liver Extract Tablets He only took one box and be- sides gaining 4 pounds be writes, "1 am much stronver and interest in life--It's the best medi- ever used."

Rated on Dealer-Profit "Formerly our individual sell- ing organizations were rated on the vercentage of price class attained. Now they are rated on the number of dealers producing a net profit, the entire year.

These men are in a position to disenss n- telligently 'and confidentially with thé dealers hanker all problems pertaining to his business. With the co-operation of the banker they will be able to direct the deal- er's efforts along the proper lines. "In brief, General Motors of Canada hag developed, and is ap- nlying, a new measure of field force { her development was pos. | to aet on | ! years experience | | with metor accountine in Canada, n he realized on a new operations, It is distinctly not a 'bird in the hand' policy. It does not seek to load up the retailers and force 'sales at any cost," nor to gear sales to total possible fac- tory production. This, in the long run, must have a stabilizing effect on the manufacturing end as well as the retail end of the industry. "Franchises," according to Mr. Brown, are .granted only after a careful analysis definitely shows that the territory is large enough and contains enough sales possi- bilities to enahle a dealer to oper- ate at a satisfactory profit, After the dealership is launched, com- plete sales plans and cquipment are supplied. Dealers are given help in handling their capital and credit problems and controlling their operating costs and profits. A monthly projection system per- mits dealers to anticipate their needs and" the company makes évery effort to adjust its produc- tion and shipments to dealers, ac: cording to actual requirements." Mr. Brown has been repeatedly assured that bankers will gladly do everything reasonably possible to encourage the use of efficient accounting systems with a view to making their dealer of their auto- mobile dealer customers. 'As indicated," stated Mr. Brown, 'my own opinion is that bankers will gladly co-operate with the zone offices of General Motors across Canada and with the dealers ghemselves, with a view to making their dealer customers stronger and more successful business men." APPLICATION FOR REDUCTION IN FREIGHT RATES (Continued from page 1) mission here on February 27, the Oshawa committee has taken a num- ber of specific articles and has made a request that rates on these com- maodities be lowered to the basis of rates if the city were placed in zone 3.- This would mean an average re duction of coal of 15 cents per ton, or approximately ten per cent of the to Oshawa from Black Roc! near Buffalo, N.Y. whence all coal shipments for Canada start. Steel, corrugated iron, flat stee] sheets, and many other articles brought into this city in quantities, are also enumer- 'gers of ated. Of course, if the request' for placing Oshaiva in zone 3 is granted, the rates would be reduced on. all shipments of freight to and from the west, This change to zone 3 instead of zone 4 would, of course, tend to in- crease the freight rates on shipments to and from the cast. It is pointed out, however, that by far the greater part of Oshawa's freight business is with the west, and that the change would therefor be of considerable benefit to local firms = and private citizens, OPPOSE BOSTON'S PROPOSAL TO FIX LIGHTERAGE RATES New England Traffic Man- agers to Fight Petition Before I.C.C. Joston, Mass.---- Before the Inter- state Commerce Commission resum, ed hearing this month of the com- plaint by the Boston Port Authori ty and the City of Boston regarding lighterage and termnal charges at New York, the New England Trafic League, composed of trafic mana- large concerns throughout New England, decided to oppose the mplaint. . The traffic managers believed that hundreds of thousands of dollars in additional domestic freight rates might be imposed on New England shippers if the Commission acceded to the Boston petition which would compel railroads to make lighterage and terminal charges in addition to nrescribed freight rates on all traf. fic moving to points in the vicinity of New York Harbor. As against thls increase, it was sald, the advantages to be gained by the port of Boston ag a result of forcing the railroads to impose ad- ditional hauling charges would he immaterial, at least for a number of years, Boston interests contend that these charges, absorbed by the railroads serving New York, put this port at a disadvantage, ana 1 is sought to remedy the situation by forcing the roads to pass the costs of the extra haulaga along to the charge is now made for the service, Tho port differential case will be fought out on this issue. Voting by a large majority to t Infection, Treat at once ckly, safely, with aid healing, qui Dodd In @ jar like the finest face creams, Price S04 take a decided stand against the Boston contention, the New Eng- land Traffic League argued that roe port of Boston, requiring no light. erage charges, would be the gainer if its petition were granted, but if such charges were applied to im- ports and exports the precedent would almost inevitably result in the charges eventually being appli- ed to domestic freight from New England to New York. Since New York is New England's best cue- tomer, it is contended huge addi- tions to New England's domestic freight bill would result, If such lighterage and terminal charges were ordered in New York, it was sald, an entering wedge would be established for application of the cost principle to all freight charges at 'eastern ports, with the result that Boston in bidding for foreign trade would be at a decided disad. vantage compared with several oth- er Atlantiy ports, where handling costs are lower.
