New Depositors in Plan for Buying Automobiles. BY J. . ROYLE. Special Dispatch to The Star. _NEW YORK, April 26.—Possibilities of the financlal influence with the banks of the country which will accrue to Henry Ford as a result of his lat- est partial payment selling plan are receiving serfous consideration from financlers and other automoblle manu- facturers today. Under the terms of this .plan, pro- spective purchasers of Ford trac- tors or Lincoln cars, can make gn ini- tial deposit of as low as $5 toward the acquisition of a car in any bank agreeing to the arrangement and con- tinue payments at the same rate week- ly. When enough has accumulated through deposits and interests to amount to one-third of the purchase price of the car, the machine 18 de- livered. Then the remaining two-thirds payments may be made through weekly bank deposits as before. » Banks Taking Up Plan. This scheme is regarded in automo- bile circles the last word in ob- taining all the benefits of a compre- hensive sales and advertising cam- paign. Ford himself denies that he is the originator of the idea, but other officals of the company do likew and the head of the Ford company, therefore, is generally given credit for its waception. Alr scores of banks in various eoctions, especially in and around De- troit, are advertising themselves as depositories under the Ford $5 plan. A few bankers for a while looked on the &cheme as of passing impor- tance, but the feeling Is growing in. bank circles that the benefits of the" plan are mutual. Ford sells a ma- chine. but the bank has use of the purchager's monev for a considerable period and In additlon gains a ous- tomer ‘who in manv instances has never been a bank depositor before. As a result, an increasing number of”bnnkers are going into the propo- sition Other Companies Fail to Follow. The possibilities of influence among the bapks for Ford are plain to be seen If other automobile companies do not follow. There is slight indica- tion today of an intention to do so, Chevrolet,” Overland and Gray have made no moves which would show a pur- pose to parallel or duplicate the Ford reme. * Durant has & scheme for a bank of lis own, but o far as an- nounced the plans for his institution have not included the financing of purchascs of Durant cars on a part- pavment plan There are supposed to be few bank- | ers nowadays who are mobile credits, but the gradual spreading of the Ford $5 deposit plan’ cannot help but bring bankers as a whole in closer touch with the auto- mobiic business, particularly if the scheme results in the maintenance of savings accounts by people who here- tofore have not been bank depositors. Bankers Deprecate Ford Influenee. The suggestion that the Ford scheme will add greatly to the financial power and influence of Henry Ford throughout the country Renerally, _is deprecated by many bankers.” They admlit, however, that it Ford adopts the policy of spreading his huge cash reserves which at pres- hostile to arto- o{€nt amount to well over $200.000,000 through the banks which encourage his £5 deposit plan, the scheme would undoubtedly assume considerable pro- portions Moreover. no savings bank objects to belng presented with even one new depositor who has acquired the habit of adding to his account at least §5 weekly. “Banks Working for Him.” The seriousness with which some financlers regard the situation is plainly shown by the answer of the | president of one of the largest banks of Detroit today, when questioned on the plan “Ford has for some years had a lot of people working for him_and it 10oks now as if he will soon have all the banks working for him as well. Bank Deposits Ju NEW ORLEANS, April 26 (Special). —Debits to local bank deposits, a generally accurate barometer = of trade, have Increased about 17 per cent xince January 1 as compared with last year and savings accounts in this city have Increased $825,000. Building contracts for the same period aggregate over $10,000,000, a new record. Only 7 per cent of this was for residences, but building and loan aseociations in the last week have loaned $500.000 for the erection of new dwellings. Cleveiand Banks Booming. CLEVELAND, Ohio. April 26 (Spe- cial).—Cleveland bank deposits today are believed to have reached the Lighest point in their history. The latest reports of sixteen banks, each with deposits of more than $1,000,000, shows a total of $710.131,000. an in- crease of $31,722.000 since December 29 last. This Increase is regarded by bankers as a direct reflection of the prosperous condition which exists in this section today. New Industries for St. Paul. ST. PAUL, Minn., April 26 (Spe- cial).—The gauge of Industrial ac- tivity here is measured to some ex- tent in the increase of bank clear- ings, which 8o far this year are more than 20 per cent above the similar period of 1922. The new High Dam industrial district development is a factor, for preparations are bein, made to house a score of industria enterprises in the district besides the Ford factory. (Copsright, 1923.) STOCK EXCHANGE HAS NEW COLLATERAL. RULE NEW YORK, April 26.—~Governors of the New York Stock Exchange acted to release thousands of dollars’, worth of securities which heretoforo have been temporarily withdrawn while in course of being transferred from one owner to another for use as bank loan collateral. The governors announced an ar- rangement whereby New York banks would accept assignable stock trans- fer receipts, to be issued by the stock clearing house corporation as collat- eral for loans. Amendments to the exchange's by-laws and rules were approved to provide for the creation | & of & stock transfer department. The plan will be put into operation soon, probably in May, and the new stock transfer department will issue receipts for a- limited number of stocks at the outset, adding to the iist from time to time until all issues are included.
