and thus again became the chief financing
agency for the sale of its products.
Early in 1952, all wholesale notes held by International Harvester
Credit Corp. were sold to the International Harvester Co.
In order
to pay for these wholesale notes, the parent arranged a five-year term
loan of $125,000,000 from a group of banks.
The Creidt corporation,
in turn, used the proceeds from the sale to pay off its short-term bor¬
rowings from banks in an approximately equal amount.
