Harry M. Jewett of Paige-Detroit Motor Car Co announces a new credit plan for Paige car buyers. The plan, backed by Bankers' Commercial Corporation of New York, provides dealer financing at no cost to dealers and permits buyers to pay via eight monthly notes after an initial cash payment and a half-price first installment. The arrangement emphasizes simplicity and broader access to credit while maintaining prudent business practices.
The notes are carried by Bankers' Commercial Corporation which takes mortgage or lease on the car as security. The dealer receives cash from Bankers' on the first seven notes. The eighth note cash goes to Palixe-Detroit Motor Car Company and is credited to the dealer for future purchases. The car is delivered to the purchaser immediately. The Palgé plan allows the buyer to avoid local banking, receiving credit from a third party in another city, making the purchase look like cash without disturbing local dealer credit.
