Denver, Colo, June 1.-THE secre-
tary of the Colorado State Realty As
sociation makes the following an
nouncement of the objects and methods
Of the organizations:
The state convention of real estate
dealers which met in Denver on June
and will prove Of incalculable bene-
fit, not only to themselves, but likewise
to the very best interests of the state.
After much discussion and careful
deliberation 1t was decided to name
the new organization "The Colorado
State Realty Association"
The objects of the association are
not simply the advancement of real es-
tste interests in the sense of booming
town lots, or rushing outlying town ad-
ditiOns, but on the contrary 1t is in.
tended to present to homeseekers, in
vestors, capitalists, manufacturers and
others the various advantages of the
state Of Colorado as a permanent loca-
ton and abode.
To this end the association will bend
it's efforts and will disseminate infor-
nation regarding climate salubrity, re-
sources, products and possibilities Of
the state.
1t is often said and strongly insisted
upon that the great need of Colorado
to-day is the building up of manufac-
tories. While that fact is indisputably
true, there still lies behind that the
further fact that manufactures will
come only with population. This the
Colorado State Realty Association will
endeavOr to accomplish.
The members of the association win
keep in constant touch with the central
bureau, placing before it the needs,
wants and opportunities of the locality
in which the member resides These
wants will be given ample publicity
and promotion until satisfied. The bu-
reau will on its part keep every mem
Der of the association fully Informed
about those who may be seeking homes,
investments or business openings, so
that every advantage and opportunity
of the state may be fully exploited and
every want filed.
The Colorado State Realty Associa-
tion will be the embodiment of friend
ly cooperation of those directly inter-
ested in the welfare and advancement
of the state With this spirit as its
moving power, the association will at
tract the interested attention of the
most desirable and advantageous class
Of immigration to our state. With
population Will come many new de-
sires, wants. aspirations and ambitions.
Capital will follow close upon the foot
steps of the homesecker and manufac-
lures will spring up unbidden and un-
announced.
Another important feature that will
receive the earnest attention of the as
sociation is legislation. A legislative
committee will be formed whose duty
will be to keep a close watch upon such
bills presented to the Legislature as af-
feet the realty interests of the COM
munity. Oftentimes vicious and per-
nicious measures are SO masked and
hidden under specious and plausible
form as to evade the hurried inspection
OF those who are not directly interested
I'm the measure proposed. 1t is these
insidious and mschievous bills which
need careful scrutiny so that their real
nature and intent may be disclosed and
made manifest.
The board of directors chosen to
guide the association for the first year
is guarantee that every portion OF
the state will have its interests looked
after. and that integrity. honesty and
high motives will he the guiding BAN
