Wik id «@ +—+ WEEKLY BUSINESS REVIE a mw 4 Standard Auto Finance Co. Maintains Utmost Secrecy The car parks at the curb at 21 South Franklin Street, Wilkes Barre. Its worried looking owner gets out and hurries in through the office door. In fifteen minute he comes out a- gain, with the worried look replaced by one of relief. He gets in the car. In his pocket he has the money that he needed, Off he drives in the car that is still in his possession, He has nothing to worry about. No one knows that he has had to borrow money, be- cause he has been given completely confidential service, And he need not lie awake -at night thinking about where to get the money to meet pay- ments, because they have been ad- justed to hig income. That is the service which is offered ‘Wyoming Valley motorists by Stand- ard Auto Finance Company, of Wilkes Barre. Managed by David Feldman, the company eliminates red tape, and can advance the borrower cash in the record time of 15 minutes. No investigation or endorsers are required, and only the title of the automobile must be deposited with the company, the automobile itself re-’ mains in the customer’s possession. Neither employer or anyone else may learn of the transaction, for confi- dential treatment is one of the Stand- ard services. The Company is operated under supervision of the Pennsylvania Department of Banking.
