Associates Investments Co., and C. Fred Cunningham, president of the National Discount Corp., South Bend, who operate over a wide area, also believe that the basis for good business is now being laid. “Peeling is generally better among automobile dealers and car buyers,” said Mr. Morris. “Repossessions are no longer above normal, so the present short volume of new car business should not continue.” Mr. Cunningham said, “Delinquencies seem to be lessening and cars are bringing better prices. Losses should be less in the last half of this year.”
