John I. Snyder, Chairman of the board, disclosed on Jan. 29.
He said "that several of the country's major banks have been and
are
continuing to provide the company with the funds necessary to
carry
the large inventories now required for car building.
"Inven¬
tories are proportionately much heavier than in pre-war years," he
added, "and their financing is important in view of the nation's and
Europe's urgent need for cars.
In some cases materials have had to
be
purchased as much as five "to six months in advance of actual
production in order to have complete sets of parts on hand when
production against firm orders begins."'—V. 166, p. 2314.

plywood simple and

The moldings permit installation of plywood, far more economically
than possible previously, Mr. Creigh said.
The use of moldings com¬
pletely eliminates the necessity for fitting, nailing,. counter-sinking
and puttying with the result that installationi'xan be done quickly, at
less cost,
