Leose or Buy?

A third edition of its popular study analyzing the merits and demerits of truck fleet leasing plans compared with company ownership has just been published by the Foundation for Management Research,

It is entitled: "Truck Fleets: Lease or Buy? An Analysis of Truck Transporta- tion Costs." The 82-page study has been revised to include data from a new survey covering fleet operation practices of more than 4,500 corporations, as well as leasing plans offered by national truck leasing organizations.

Four complete tables are included in the study, which analyze costs of companyowned fleets and compare those costs with leasing. The study develops a "cutofr point" to aid financial officers in determining when it is more profitable to lease truck fleets and when it is more profitable to own them. The study also analyzes various lease plans, pointing out advantages and disadvantages of each.

Single free eopies of "Truck Fleets: Lease or Buy?" may be obtained by executives by writing to the Foundation for Management Research, 121 West Adams Street, Chicago 30, Illinois.

Gloss Fiber Screening Commerciol Stqndqrd Adopted by l'ndustry

Glass fiber insect screening can now be manufactured under a commercial standard spelling out construction characteristics of the product as well as quality standards for the finished screening. The standard was developed in cooperation with the U. S.

Department of Commerce by glass fiber sereening manufacturers including OwensCorning Fiberglas.

Visual evidence of the new commercial standard will be a certification and labeling program by which screening meeting standards will be clearly identified.

Quality requirements established by the standard include criteria for weatherability, flame tesistance, color stability, bond and burst strengths, stiffness, and blocking resistance.

Owens-Corning Fiberglas led the indus' try by offering a 10-year guarantee on its screening in 1960. The guarantee was made possible after years of laboratory testing and field exposure and applies to screening for approved uses in windows, screens, porches, breezeways, patios, and pool enclosures.
