toronto auto taance company we have the uood fortune to have our car paid for but the con tents of the circular made tntawrt- ing reading nevertheless tt stated that this company does not ask the borrower to get friends to sign for him nor does it consult his employer if he happens to be an employe us note u regarded as his chequ and his car as his bank account- so far the circular sounds alluring ou when it comes to the matter pf inter est the terms are not ao if the car owner borrows tm he is expected to repay the ion in twelve monthly instalments of m0 making a total repaymnt of taiao at tha end of the year at jlrrt thdught uda looks like an interest rate of cent but it is really much no un that because the borrower does not nave the use of the whole s80 for twelve months he repays bit the end of the first month another s at the end of the second month and continues to do this right urouh the year which of course means that the actual interest rate is much more than m per cent if any of our readers are mathematically inclined does pay the circular also that the company has given this ser vice to more than soooo c car owners which shows bow badly a whole lot of people
