New Financing
* Plan For Fords
Mr. Hobart Brooks, of the
Jarman and Brooks Motor Com
pany, Ford Dealers, returned
yesterday from Jacksonville,
where he received details of the
new Ford finance plan.
7 The new finance plan will be
operated by the Universal Cre
dit Company, an affiliated spe-i
cialized organization controlled
by the Ford Motor Company,
an operating solely for the pur
pose of serving this territory.
Its Jackeconville ofiices are lo
cated on the 14th floor of the
Lynch Building, Jacksonville.
This is of special interest to
prospective purchasers of Fordl
products on a ‘‘time’’ basis.
Under this authorized finance
plan, Ford customers will have
a finance service available which
is sound and in keeping with‘
Ford policies and standards.
The plan 1s nation-wide in scope
and for the exclusive use of
Ford dealers. \
Iz is another step -of the Ford
orgonization in reducing costs
by controlling operations from
the mine to the consumer. The
cost of this service will be low
er than any heretofore available
to Eord custemers on 8 nationa
the price of Ford cars purchased
on a ‘‘time’’ payment basis. It
is a further expression of the
established Ford policy of giving |
outstanding values and com
plete service to the consumer
at the lowest possible cost.
The plan also contemplates|
the purchase by Universal Cre-|
dit Company of sound and!
adequate fire and theft insurance I
proiecting the joint interests of
the purchaser, the dealer and
the company in the car.
The purchaser receives a
policy of standard form in
surance providing protection
for one year. Such policies are
jesued by the Home *'lnsurance
Company of New York, the
largest fire insurance company
in the United States The
policies provide for settlement
based on the actual cash value
of the at the time of loss.
The Universal Credit company
and the [ord dealer wili work
together in making this new
economical Ford service auail
able to all purchasers of Ford
products on & “time’’ basis.
The Jarman and Brooks Motor
Compony, local Ford dealers,
will be glad to explain all the
details of the plan, which ap
plies to both new and used cars
purchased from Ford dealers.
