Insurance Feature of Sales Plan Explained "So much has boon printed about tho insurance feature of.the Chrys ler plan that thoro arc those who loso sight of tho fact that the plan is one to reduce finance charges on motor cars sold on tho .deferred payment basis," explained J.eo French here today.

Obviously no company is going to finance the salo of mo tor cars sold on a deferred pay ment basis unless those cars are in sured against loss from fire and thefl. The finance plan would havo boon Impossible without the insurance feature. "To-bo sure tho Chrysler plan assures purchasers of Chrysler cars lower insurance rates. The saving from lowered finance charges and reduced insurance rntes depends upon its price. In July $400,000 was saved to Chrysler buyers and in August a slightly larger sum was saved. . "Tho Chrysler plan was evolved to .' reduce finance charges on Chrysler cars. It is a plan to save money for the public because Bar ing money for tho public moans selling more cars.'
