j the same as it was a week ago.
The war-born federal controls
in installment buying took effect
.Monday.
The checks, milder in form than
those of World War II generally,
put a 15 per cent "floor" on down
payments for certain types of home
appliances and an 18-month limit
on the time for paying the balance.
For autos and trucks, the down
payment must be one-third, and the
limit 21 months.
Furniture and appliance dealers
contacted here said they had seen
no effect so far on fheir sales from
the installation of the government

One said the only effect he ob'

A furniture dealer, reporting "no

controls generally were more len
ient than those which his own firm
had had in its usual policy.
His company required a ten per

just 12 months to pay. The federal

to 15 per cent, but allows 1 8
