president of the Chulmera Company in charge of sales Mr Smith 1s the livest most enthusiastic sales manager In the automobile world today though that Hounds as an ultra extravagant phrasing He Is a speaker as entertaining as the average lyceum artist or vaudeville performer but at the same time he hills his remarks with meat which is food for the brain of any person be he in the automobile business or not The enthusiasm manifest In the talks of Mr Smith is that kind which spreads like contagious humor and no automobile dealer ever hears him but that feols a new Interest in business and goes home able to sell more cars than ever THAT CREDIT SYSTEM Most prominent of the features to be discussed by Mr Smith is the new credit system by which cars are sold on partial payment plans at 6 per cent Interest Hugh Chalmers is father of this plan which has the backing of a $10000000 corporation known as the Agricultural Credit Association This association formerly dealt in paper of farmers by which agricultural implements were sold But when Hugh Chalmers decided to market 42000 cars this season he sought the officials of this corporation and interested them in the Six-80 3400 Chalmers and this company will handle such paper exlusiveiy for the year The details by w'hich the farmers and others of North Carolina may take advantage of this eredit plan will be explained by Mr Smith PRICES PROBABILITIES Another- subject which Is creating much talk now Is the high price of gasoline and the extreme cost of materials both of which will he discussed by Mr Smith The high cost of materials Is causing many manufacturers to either raise the price of their products or lower the quality The Chalmers raised the price of the Slx-40 $100 on March 1 and the prediction of Mr Smith is that the price on the smaller car will have to be hoisted soon as well as the price on the majority of cars For Instance Vanadium steel which formerly cost $1 a poud now costs $9 and other materials
