BOARD OF TRADE
For Real Estate and Business Properties. Chamber
of Exchange Established.

A bureau of information has recently
been established in Minneapolis for
the purpose of bringing the buyers and
sellers of the Northwest to a common
market. The bureau is designed to
supply detailed information covering all
real estate for sale, rent or exchange;
openings or locations for all lines of
business and professions; and invest
ments of all kinds, from lands to school
and municipal bonds.
The Bureau is the result Of years of
careful study. Perhaps no branch of
our modern exchange system is so
crude as that pertaining to- the buying
and selling of real estate and business
properties. For example: A person
desires to purchase business, farm
or a city residence. He should, in or
der to obtain the best results, have in
formation covering all such properties
as are for sale. Under conditions which
have existed, he is obliged to visit or
correspond with a host of real estate
agents and inspect a large number of
properties, at great expense Of time
and money, in order that he may form
even a partial conception of what prop
critics are for sale of the class he wants.
He may not then have seen the one
place that is suited to his needs, but
may buy because he cannot afford to
look farther. If he does buy he is
ODllSeu 10 pay large W d
real estate agent. 1t may be claimed
that the owner of the property, and not
the purchaser, pays this commission;
but if the owner names his net price
and the agent sells for what he can
above that, retaining the overplus as
his commission, it is evident that if the
purchaser had been in position to deal
directly with the owner, he could have
saved the agents commission. And
even if the agent charge the owner a
certain percentage of the purchase
price, the owner has first made his
price high enough to include this COM
mission.
A NEW SYSTEM.
All this is eliminated under the new
syStem-a system so far-reac ching that
all the real estate and business open
ings in the Northwest are brought
within a focus so small that a person
may sit at his own fireside and examine
the whole field. And not only does the
prospective real estate purchaser get
the benefit of this vast economy OF
time and travel, but when he has Sc
lected a property that he desires to in
Vestigate with view to purchasing,
he is placed in communication with the
owner, and if he buys it is at the own
er's price.
This Bureau of Information now has
correspondents in large proportion
