Caroon Presides
Af Convention Of
Finance Companies
W. J. Caroon, o£ North Wll
keaboro, president of the North
Carolina Association of Finance
Corporations, presided over the
association's convention held in
Charlotte Tuesday and Wednes
day. x
Approximately 50 members of
the association from every sec
tion of the state attended the
meeting, held at Hotel Charlotte.
The program, with T. S. Rog
ers of Charlotte as chairman, was
entirely informal and so arranged
to permit any member who
wished to do so to discuss any
matter related to the business of
the member companies, those |
concerns engaged in automobile
financing.
It was the general feeling of
those participating in the discus
sions that although' the Carolinas
appear to have passed through
the more drastic phases of the
post-war economic adjustment,
prices of new and used automo
biles, as well as other products
in general demand, including
various household^ appliances
are still highly unsettled and for
that reason the finance com
panies should exercise great cau
tion in their appraisals of such
purchases in making loans.
