Rebate plan helps hike auto sales DETROIT (AP) — New car sales strengthened in late January as cash rebate plans spurred auto deliveries an estimated 36 per cent above mid-January levels, industry analysts said Tuesday. But the unusual discounting moves apparently failed to lift the ailing industry out of its worst slump since World War II, Chrysler Corp. figures indicated. Total January sales were expected to be the lowest for the month since 1961 and mark the 16th consecutive month that deliveries have lagged behind year-earlier levels. Import sales were expected to be 80,000 to 90,000, a 29 to 37 per cent decline from 126,600 in January 1974. Chrysler Corp., the first auto maker to offer discounts on some new cars, reported Tuesday its sales in Jan. 21-31 were up 17 per cent from the middle 10 days of the month, based on the daily selling rate. American Motors reported sales of 10,804 in the final January period, a 58 per cent increase over mid- January, based on the daily selling rate. However, the company’s de liveries in the period were down 23 per cent from Jan. 21-31, 1974, and sales of 20,309 for the entire month were off37 per cent from 32,365 the year before. General Motors was to report its figures late Tuesday, and Ford Motor Co. will report Wednesday. Chrysler, which saw its sales in crease from 11,654 in early January and 23,608 in mid-month to 34,543 in the final 10 days, attributed the gains to its rebate plan, which ends Feb. 16. But Chrysler’s monthly de liveries of 70,619 were off 30 per cent from 100,150 the year before, making it the company’s worst January in 11 years. The final January figures are the first to reflect the full effect of $200 to $600 rebates the companies began offering on some new models in midmonth to perk up sagging sales.

A A ^ ‘m&z £^5715 T. the lazy student’s way to excel (not just pass-excel!) I used to be a student. I still am for that matter even though I’m no longer enrolled in an academic institution. More importantly, I used to study hard - the midnight cram sessions — the 7-day weeks. But I didn’t start making good grades until I learned some amazing secrets about studying and about myself secrets that I have never shared with anyone else until now. This information could be worth more to you than all the money in the world. What’s more, I feel so confident about that claim that I’m going to request that you send me 10 dollars for something that will cost me less than 1 dollar to produce. And I’ll even make the offer sound so astonishing that you’ll be sorry if you don’t accept it. How can I make such a statement? Because I’m in the business of selling educational information for a profit — just like a professional daily newspaper or a lawyer. Samuel Johnson once said, “No man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money.” Besides, if I didn’t make a good profit, you’d assume my education was wasted and whatever I have to offer you is therefore worthless. Yet I can unconditionally guarantee its results! In fact, I will make you the most unusual guarantee in the world. And that is: I won’t even cash your check or money order for 20 days after I’ve sent you my material. You’ll have plenty of time to look it over and try it out. If you don’t agree that it’s worth a hundred times what you paid, simply send it back and I’ll return every penny of your investment — even if you’ve marked in it. The material I’m going to send you will explain in detail what took me 12 years to perfect and put down on paper. And it’s going to be the biggest bargain you ever bought — How to pass school the lazy man’s way. I call it “The Lazy Man’s Way” because the wisest man I ever met once said, “Anything is easy once it’s fully understood.” Now, I don’t mind bragging just a little to prove my point. Because unless I do, you won’t be motivated enough to try my guaranteed method. You see, I went from a 2.1 fII’A (4.0=A system) to a term average of over 3.5, while taking similar courses yet more units, merely by using the methods spelled out in my material. What’s more, I have copies of my official transcripts to prove it! And I’ll show you exactly how I accomplished this while at the same time holding your money in ‘escrow’ until you’re completely- satisfied that reviewing my material is the smartest thing you ever did. All in all, I give you more than 150 pages filled with proven methods on how to study, how to take exams, how to budget your time for greater efficiency, how to overcome anxiety, plus numerous other ways of getting better results with less work and more fun — real, practical ideas you can put to work at once. The concepts include: 4 steps to goal achievement; 6 steps to better reading; key factors in memory retention; demonstrated ways to take meaningful notes — plus proven tips on listening, as well as passing both subjective and objective type examinations. If all this sounds too good to be true, 1 don’t blame you. Because there has never been a program like this before — a system that shows you how to raise your G.P.A. by simply using the natural talents you possess right now. It doesn’t require “intelligence”. I’m considered by most to be average. Nor does it require “luck”. You see, I sincerely believe that we make our own good fortune. And it certainly doesn’t require “effort” in the sense that effort is hard work. Work is only hard if we dislike the task at hand. Rather, it simply requires “belief”. Enough belief to put the simple concepts into action. Enough belief to absorb the material. *f you do that, I guarantee (remember, I said, guarantee) the results will be astonishing. You don’t have to interfere with* your present studies. In fact, you can review the material in less than one hour. You don’t even have to “believe” me until after you examine it. Just try it. That’s all I ask. If I’ve boasted too much, simply return the package for a refund. All you have to lose is a couple of seconds and a postage stamp to see if I’m right. But what if I’m telling you the truth? After all, while there are no certain shortcuts to success, there’s no sense in taking the long way around, either.
