No Interest Charges at Nulty Gully No interest charge!' for 12 months will be offered as a special incentive to all purchasers of new motorcycles Randy Collins of Hully Gully an- nounced today. Collins, who negotiated the deal with a local bank believes he is the only motorcycle dealer in the area to go interest free on all new purchases. The program means you can take one year to pay by making 12 equal prin• cipal only' payments. "Consumer response is expected to be fantastic, particularly when people are faced with weekly increases in interest,'" Collins said. "We expect to sell about 5250,000 worth of new motorcycles in a very short time to interest free purchasers." Hully Gully has built a reputa- tion on extremely competitive prices, backed up with an ex- cellent service deportment. Now, with the added benefits of not having to pay interest, motorcy- cle sales are expected to surge ahead. Collins refused to comment, on how long the bank would allow him to offer interest free purchases... but, for the moment, anyone who is even remotely in- terested in buying a motorcycle should contact him immediately. me 2 -hp tiller from John Deere.
