The Dickinson Abstract & Real Estate Co.

The Dickinson Abstract & Real Es.
tate Co, with w. F. Burnett, president,
M. L. Mcbride, vice president, and F
M. Baker, secretary and treasurer, is a
new company which has taken the field.
The purpose of the company is to buy
and sell lands, to buy and sell real estate
on commission, to manage rentals and to
furnish abstracts for all real estate in
Stark and Billings counties. The COM.
pany is now engaged in putting in an in
dex system abstract plant in this county
and has a force of clerks pushing the
work to an early completion-and when
completed the plant will be one of the
best in the state. The company has filed
a bond of $1,000 and is now prepared to
furnish abstracts.
The PRESS has been permitted to look
over the new abstract system we have
been installing and thinks the facilities
of the new company will make their SER
vices very desirable to all wishing alb.
stracts that are absolutely correct.
Rapidly increasing land values. fol-
lowing the growth of population and the
growing demand for Stark and Billings
county lands, has rendered the ques-
ton of land titles one of vital interest
and importance.
Haphazard searching of faulty, mac
curate and often incomplete Registers
or Recorders induces, will no longer
satisfy investors in land values. Scien-
ti6c and systematic deduction of land
titles from the original records them
selves by experienced and professional
abstractors has become more and more
imperatively demanded by the slow but
steady rise of the values in city and coun-
try property.
Recognizing this tendency and the in.
evitable demand for good and reliable
work, and impressed with its importance
by experience in the real estate business,
the Dickinson Abstract & Real Estate
Company has spared 10 expense to sup
ply this demand.
Under a system as complete and
modern as it is possible to get, and un-
der proper supervision, this company has
put in an abstract plant second to none
Ia this state.
Disregarding all induces, both name
and tract, it has gone through the records
page by page and made its W property
indices direct from the original records,
beginning with the U. S. filings and plats
and ending with all the county records

ular. Careless and inaccurate c~oveyanc-
ing is responsible for a large percentage
of the faulty titles which our system has
revealed.
Many of the bad titles discovered by
our search, while not necessarily fatal
now, will become 50 by the lapse of time
if neglected; it will become more and
more difficult to get the necessary IRE.

ing parties who have left the state.
AS we shall be up.to-date every day
on new transactions, this company will be
in a position to furnish abstracts and
give information concerning land titles
more promptly than has heretofore been
possible, and this without any increase
in the usual charges.
The Dickinson Abstract & Real Es.
tate Co. is confident that the expense il
has incurred in its efforts to add the alb.
stract plant to the public convenience OF
the county will meet prompt apprecia'
ton from all those who like good, rapid
and reliable work.
The plant is to be completed on the
Rockwell & Rupel Company's oCard
system and will be complete in ever de-
tail by about July list.
