The Acceptance Corporation will continue to maintain an off ce in Toronto, but the headquarters with a staff . and clerical force numbering around 50 employees will be lc cated in Oshawa, and its huge financial opera- tions covering the whole Dominion will center here. The whole east wing of the new Mo- tors Office Building's fourth floor is being fitted up for the Acceptance Cor- poration's executive and accounting ices, Oshawa will gain a number of home owners through the transfer of the cor- poration's headquarters from Toronto as several of the General Motors Houses have already been 'purchased by members of the staff.

While December 15 is set as the ten- tative date for opening the new Mo- tors office building, the Acceptance Coproration would not move in until a week following the transfer of Gener- al Motors executive departments from the headquarters at the corper of Mary and Richmond streets.
