Mass Buying Commission Hearing on Farm Implements
Walter Gordon, Toronto auditor, told the royal commission on mass buying that Canadian farm implement manufacturers charge 25 to 50 percent yearly interest on credit sales and incur losses. He cited 5 percent for two months and 30 percent for two years as short term rates, and 20 percent annual loss on credi business split between bad debts and collections. Inventories rose in 1928 1929, tying up capital and raising prices. Prices of implements did not fall as fast as farm products from 1930 to 1934.
