REAL ESTATE
ADVERTISING
Expert Says 1t is Life of the
Business and Newspaper
Is Medium.

Advertising is the life of the real
estate business, and newspaper ad-
vertising is the best medium that can
be employed" said J. r. Dunphy, a
publicity expert. formerly on the ad-
vertising stan of the Spokesman Re
view, Spokane, Wash. to the stu
dents of the Spokane Y. n. C. a. real
estate course. Continuing. Mr.. Dun
ply said in part:
A real estate business without ad-
vertising is like a man without life
and an engine without steam. It is
necessary to have a good location for
your business, a good Office Organiza-
ton, good property to sell and such
other equipment as is needed for the
proper handling of customers, but
more important than all of these is
that influence which brings you in
contact with the buyer and renders
the above organization valuable.
Newspaper advertising is the source
of the greatest benefit to the real es-
tate man in his local field. 1t reaches
a greater number of people at a
smaller cost than any other medium.
1t reaches readers in their homes
when they have time and inclination
to give it careful thought and atten-
ton.
Since every one must have a place
in which to live, the real estate man
can look upon every individual in the
community as a possible prospect.
The problem that confronts him is
how best to reach the entire COM
munity at the very least cost. This
he finds he can do better and cheaper
through the newspaper than in any
other way.
To substantiate the truth of this
Cfa "a nf
well known firms of my own acquaint-
ance could be mentioned. However.
many of them did not at first realize
this fact, and it was only after having
expended large sums in other ways,
such as addressing letters and pam
phlets directly to the general public
and conducting a house TO house can
vass by personal solicitors, that 1t n
nally became clear to them that the
general character of their business
rendered such methods impractical.
