Agents Span,

In my opinion there are not two sides
TO the question as TO whether there should
De both real estate exchange ana sales
room in the city of Richmond. The IN
terests of the agents demand the estab-
lishment Of the former as the questions
which arise affecting our welfare can
much better be met by concerted action
than Individually. The exchange would
tend 10 dignify our caihhG' ana ! lnlnk
by association an esprit de corps would
soon be established among The agents
which would be Of pronounced benefit 10
the business ana 10 the public generally.
The interests of both those who buy and
sell realty demand a sales-rOOm. The
objections To- the present mode Of selins
by auction are so obvious that il seems
idle to speak OF them. These objections
are All obv.ated by the establishment OF a
Sales-l Dom, where, Independent of the
weather and assured of % crowd. the
property can be sold when advertised
without those long waits between bids
which weary the crlcr ana prevent bust
ness men from attending the sales:
II. l.. CABELL.
I agree with all that has recently been
published in your valuable paper in favor
Of a real estate sdlcs-TOOm and am glad
you are agitating the subject.
1t is very important that the room
should be centrally located large and
comfortable. Now, " property owners
would be willing 20 pay a small amount on
every piece of property offered at public
sale in said room, ] see no reason why
one should not be secured Tor the pur-
pose at once. There would have to bee
some change in the laws governing hdu-
ciary sales, which. ! have no doubt. could
readily be secured. ! hope the business
men of our beautiful city other than the
real estate agents, will unite their cf-
forts with them in this movement, and
forward II, for the good OF the communi-
~, II being a subject ln which every
property owner is personally interested.
If one OF our patriotic citizens. that has
"a large vacant store conveniently located
would allow the use of IL, until permanent
arrangements can be made, IL would he
a great help. By all means let us have
a real estate sales-room, or exchange.
