Cash Allowance Plan Announced by M-F
A major cash allowance program for buyers of its industrial and construction machinery has been announced by Massey-Ferguson, Inc., Des Moines, Ia.
Donald L. Douglass, vice president/ marketing. North America, said the plan allows cash allowances of from $200 to $3,000 on most models of M-F industrial and construction machines. He called the program an "aggressive move on Massey-Ferguson's part to strengthen our position in the market place for all of our products prior to an expected upturn in the economy in the second half of 1975."
