EMBRACES ALL OF COLORADO.
Will Invite Homeseekers and Build
Up Manufacturing and Business
Interests in all Parts of the
State.


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
10 the very best interests of the state.
After much discussion and careful
delheration it was decided to name
the new organization "'rhe Colorado
State Realty Association"
The objects of the association are
not simply the advancement of real es-
tate interests in the sense of booming
town lots. or rushing outlying town nd
dtions. but on the contrary. it is i'll.
tended to present to homcseekers, in
veStors, capitalists. manufacturers and
others the various advantages of the
state of Colorado as a permanent loca-
tion and abode.
To this end the association will bend
its 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

The members of the association will
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-
leau will on its part keep every mem
ber 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 ASSocin-
ton 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 homeseeker and manufac-
lures will spring up unbiddcn 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 Il 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
in the measure proposed. 1t is these
insidlous and mischievous 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

the state will have its interests looked
after. and that integrity, honesty and
high motives will be the guiding BAN
