the game creates, there is strong

URGES SYSTEM
IN REAL ESTATE
William E. Harmon, Of New York,
Talks Plainly to Real Estate Men
On the Needs Of the Business.

One OF the most important papers
read at the National Real Estate con-
vention In the Cadillac this week was
that of William K. Harmon. of New
York. on the Science of real estate"
Mr.. Harmon handled the subject in a
masterful way and his observations
made a deep impression.
If a science OF real estate had been
worked out demonstrated and prom
ufgatcd rs has the science of banking,
industrial corporations or railroad
building. infinitely more millions would
be invested In the real estate business
than there are today" said Mr.. Har-
mon. And the returns would have
been constant and dependable. rather
than irregular and often accidental.
Investment In real estate today Is
utterly illogical 1t Is the result OF
emotional or pre1udicial conclusions
without any basis Of scientific inform
alton. They are as often wrong as
right, and the inevitable result Is a
weakening of that confidence neccs-
sary to constructive and continuous
success. In the most important COM
modify in which the world deals there
is a lesser application OF intelligent
principles than in the conduct OF mer-
In country town. II Is
difficult to conceive what magnificent
results would follow II nine-tenths OF
the Investments In real estate were
profitable instead Of nine-tenths or
them being Improbable. and this fact
Is undeniable."
While admitting that school OF
real estate would be impractical. Mr..
Harmon expressed the hope that ul.
a department of real estate
might be introduced In the great uni
versities Of the country.
Mr.. Harmon was the first man In
the world to sell lots on the easy pay
ment plan, small payment down and
a small sum each week. In a previous
talk he told OF his experience with
this plan. declaring that lapses in pay
ments are comparatively rare. In Mr..
Harmon's opinion, subdivision proper
ty. If properly handled. brings better
returns than any other class OF real
estate
