REAL ESTATE MEN
HAVE LOVE FEAST.
Second Meeting of New AssOcia-
tiOn Held at the Commercial
Club Today.
WHAT PRESIDENT MILLER SAYS
Is Delighted With the Thought that
After all These Years They Have
At Last Got Together.

The real estate men held their second
meeting this noon at the Commercial
club, and warmed the cookies Of their
hearts and the lining Of their stomachs
with the luncheon soup and hot cups
OF tea. 1t was a beautiful instance OF
brethren dwelling together In unity ana
the oil of harmony ran iguratively
down the real estate beard IN ample
and gratifying quantities The feature
OF the occasion was the adoption OF the
articles OF incorporation for the salt
Lake Real Estate association, and
which win be filed Immediately, As
the object Of the association is largely
of a social nature, there is no capital
stock and the general conduct of the
organization is on the same basis AS
that Of the Commercial club. The list
OF officers continues the same as print
ed last week in the News The as
ISOLATION meets on alternate Wednes-
days for lunch at the expense Of the as
ISOLATION and n pleasant medicine talk
over business and how to build up the
town, In an interesting talk this noon
with President Glen Miller Of the as
ISOLATION, the latter said:
"rhe keynote of the Real Estate as
ISOLATION IS found In this paragraph of
its preamble:
No rule OF regulation shall be
adopted by this association that win
materially interfere with the private
policy of any tirm or agent in the man
agement of its or his business
1T is little queer that during all
these years while the lawyers nave had
a par association the doctors e medi-
cal association, the ministers a Ininis-
terlal association aud the jobbers
'jobbers' association the real estate
men have been pulling each for himself
and often against their own interests.
But the reason has really been that
many agents have feared to Join
an association lest they might
be hampered In their methods, retarded
In their enterprise or subjected to an
noylng regulations, New IL IS likely
that every fellow In the business has
his own special IDEAS of what is the
best way to operate out It isn't the
purpose of the association 20 perpetrate
any isIns or tie anyone up with a lot
OF strings. That Is the reason the pres
ent association has gathered In the
whole profession, and why so much
enthusiasm pervades the new associa-
ton. The fellows Who sell dirt have
Just as much I'm common and can he
as helpful to one another as the doc
tors or lawyers, or musicians or m MIS-
ters By getting together socially
twice n month and canyassing affairs
of the local real estate market. the
agents can accomplish more, both for
themselves and customers, than by
keeping aloof from each other. | know
lot OF instances, in the very brief
period since the association was
launched, where splendid results have
come from the better understanding
In this day when even nations have
come to realize that they can't ignore
their ncighbors. no real estate agent
Of Salt Lake would be so foolish as to
say he could run his concern Just as
well without the cooperation and good
will of his neighbors as With them, We
don't propose to dictate whether q real
estate agent shall use q street car, a
carriage or an automobile In showing
property, or any other kind of such
impairment foolishness. But We do
believe that friendly meetings of the
boys, a comparison of notes, a discus
sion of the trend of the market, the
march of improvement and the devel-
opment of the city will result in meal
culabe benefit to the fraternity and
TO both sellers and buyers. There will
be less knocking" more boosting
and better feeling, than when every
dealer is a stranger to the others In
his line of business, Every profession
gains from the mingling and co-opera-
ton of those following H. the real es-
tate business Is no exception to the
rulp"
