GUIDES POSTPONED TO JAN U ARY

15,

1947

To the Registrant Addressed:
Regulation W, as revised effective December 1, 1946, provides
that after January 1, 1947, the credit value of a used automobile
would be based on the cash purchase price or the “ appraisal guide
value/' whichever is the lower. In this connection, the circular
letter of this bank dated December 17, 1946, listed the guides
designated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System for use for this purpose in the states of this Federal Re­
serve district.
Because of printing difficulties, certain of the designated guide
books will not be delivered by January 1, 1947. The Board has,
therefore, postponed the effective date of the designation, with
the result that the guide books are not required to be used for the
purposes of Regulation W until on and after January 15, 1947,
and the maximum credit value until that time will be based on
the cash purchase price only.
Yours verj^ truly,
R. R. GILBERT
President
