CONVENTION AFTERMATH
Conclusion eithe Speeches Made at the Real Estate
Dealers Meeting Much Food For
Reflection in the Addresses -

is no more honorable than horse
thief. (Applause.) And 1t produces
the theory In mans mind that if a
man cuts in on me am going to cut
in on him. That is something that
we should frown. upon in the real
estate business. We should do every.
thing we can to help our fellow man
and our. fellow business man, We
must remember that every settler
brought in here enhances the value of
our land, and increases the prosperity
Of the state. Now / am very much
pleased with our convention SO far
and + do hope that what we say and
what I'VE do here :e@willssszbe for the
mutual benefit Of not5aonly the real
estate men, but OF the settler and; the
general advancement of the state.

At the. conclusion Of Mr. Bacon's
address he. was followed by ;s.s ...,...
,,sst$:' -. 81 Green Of Mandan.s Is L.
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen: IT
presume the idea Of our chairman lis
that he. ought to get some OF the old
timers to say something in order to
prove that they can. Like Mr.. Bacon,
I too have learned something today
about the scriptures. Our disciple of
Blackstone from Dickinson, has told
us about Ananias. am glad to
know these things and am glad that
that example was set before us, for
never had.sto tell a lie about any ssof
the real estate I have sold. There
are enough facts to- talk about to
make any resort to untruthfuIness un-
necessary. ii Az irrespective buyer is
not going to believe all you say to
him anyway, and you have to say it
over again to him frequently, and it
Is some times hard to remember Just
what you have said to him before. In
this connection I remember a man
who keeps a ellie Book, "5wjho is, in
the business. In this book he puts
down what he has told particular
man, and when he knows that he is
going to see that particular man again
he at once consults his little ssLie
Book" and he tells me that he sells a
lot OF real estate. Laughter.). Per-
haps We can get that idea before the
resolution committee.
This convention I believe is to do
a great deal of good to real estate
men. It is move in the right direc-
ton. This is the first time we have
had such a convention in my part of
the state. s.a. b. mi. :s> .z.=
i certainly do not consider, as do
some people, that the real estate man
is a necessary evil. j do not believe
he Is an evil at ALL (Applause.) =.
I think that on the contrary he is
a necessity and beneficial one to a
new country: Real estate people are
discredited good deal because they,
or some of them, try to do things
that they ought to think over at least
twice before they DO them. They
perhaps In some instances over do
the: things they have to say Of their
property and propositions. And the
man whosdoes such q thing is pretty
tsure to find that his customer leaves
him and goes home and does not buy
