lssues New Booklet on Leqse ond Rentql Finonce Plons of Automqtic Lift Trucks

Lease and rental finance plans ofiered by the Automatic Transportation Company of Chicago to buyers and users of the company's industrial lift trucks are explained fully in a new l2-page booklet entitled "Which Is Best For You?"

Since the use of the industrial lift truck is a major factor in curtailing rising costs in all industry from receiving, manufacturing, warehousing, through distribution, it is economically unsound to permit lack of liquid capital to deprive any plant operation of such vital equipment. The new booklet describes methods that enable the buyer or user to avail himself of the economies of more than 200 models of AUTOMATIC lift trucks without impairing existing credit lines, without restrictions on growth and operating efficiency caused by "tight money" and without making large capital expenditures.

This easy-to-read, authoritative report on all facets of industrial lift truck leasing from AUTOMATIC, manufacturers of one of the industry's broadest lines of industrial lift trucks, discusses the why and when of leasing, common leasing problems (and their solution), the various lease plans available, and ways other companies have used leasing to increase profits.

The booklet contains information that is applicable to any size company. A separate supplement carries the latest information on prevailing rates.

To obtain a free copy of the new leasing booklet, write the Automatic Transportation Company, 149 West 87th Street, Chicago 20, Illinois.
