Effect of D ra ft on
Car Sales Given
THE SENTINEL OOTTAOE GROVE, OREGON
THE POCKETBOOK
of KNOWLEDGE
D. U. Bathrick, general sales-
manager of Pontiac Motor Dlvl-
■lon, produced figures today to
disprove minors that the Con
scription Act would have an ad
verse effect on automobile sales.
"Conscription may place six per
cent of the present prospective
car buyers In military service."
Bathrick estimates. ,5rhls would
mean that a dealer who sells 200
cars a year would lose 12 sales or
one a month. Every dealer could
stimulate enough sales to over
come that loss.
"In addition the defense pro
gram calls for Increased industrial
activity which In turn means more
employment and more money In
circulation. These factors would
more than likely create four sales
for every sale lost liecause the
prospect Is in the service,"
Only 15 per cent of the tran
sactions now on the hooks of lead
ing finance eomiuinies cover pur
chases of men between the ages of
21 and 31 years, Bathrick says.
Half of this group an? married or
have other dependents and their
service will Is- deferred. Another
seven or eight per cent will bi- dis
qualified because of physical de
fects. Thus approximately six per
cent of those able to purchase
automobiili will be conscripted.
"Circulations by T he Used Car
