of value. Next time she saw a sign
For Sale" was in Hollywood. This
time she did not consult her Califor-
mia friends, but she took her true and
tried friend of years standing into
her confidence. She did not ask her
for advice, but she said, 1--WE are go
ing to buy here" and so thew did,
and from that time on Miss Knud-
son has been connected with most of
the important deals in Hollywood, and
Ii Is said of her that she has trans
ferred more property and made more
money for her clients and friends
than all the rest of the agents put
together out there, and she has the
happy faculty of keeping her clients
year out and year in, and 1t is often
said by her competitors that there Is
no use talking to anybody after she
gives up. She has studied the history
of Los Angeles and surroundings so
thoroughly that her appraisement on
property is often asked by both buy
ers and sellers, and in this she Is
most conscientious and just. as a deal
often hinges on her report in the mat
ter.
Another advantage which Miss
Knudson has which has stood her In
such good turn is that she has a very
wide acquaintance, and many OF her
clients are as far away as New York
and Honolulu. and some of them have
never seen their investments, but they
have seen results which count, AMI
her first client is still her client Miss
Knudson tells how she sold this first
client of hers $500 lot and lay awake
nights figuring how she was going TO
make good interest out of 1t. Two
years later she herself bought the
same lot for $4,000, so the interest
was made and more investments were
made and her last sale to her first
client about three months ago was
$4,000, which gives her less worry
as to good interest than her first sale
of $500.
Miss Knudson is a woman in whom
her friends have the greatest trust
and confidence, and for many of her
friends travelling about she has full
power to act without their presence,
often both buying and selling for them
without consulting them in the matter.
1t Is said of her that she will fight
longer and harder for a friend to get
Justice than she would for herself.
She is often asked what is the secret
of her success. She says ii is work.
work, and more work and lots o.
work which her clients never hear of.
She says it never pays to neglect any,
thing, whether II belongs to you or
your friend, and every deed well done
brings reward of some kind some time.
Her motto in this request is, Moth
ing good Is ever lOSt. she never
speaks discouragingly or meanly of
her competitor and many beginners
in her line of work have found in her
true and helpful friend, but that does
not mean that there are not those in
her line of work but what are small
enough to be jealous and envious of
her, but she says she is too busy to
even take notice OF false reports which
are never proved, and one by one
sink into oblivion. She saws she l.
truly sorry for anyone who has time
to take care of the other fellows af-
fairs, knowing full well that he must
be neglecting his own in the mean
time
Miss Knudson's latest enterprise Is
planting eucalyptus trees She has a
large nursery on her ranch near
Fresno. where she has millions of lit
tie trees growing for her own plant
has thousands and thousands of trees
growing in the field. both for herself
and a great many of her friends She
has unlimited faith in California, its
products, its resources and its peo-
pie She does not believe that a per-
son with average health and a little
brain could possibly find a good ex-
cuse for being hard up in a country
so full of life and opportunities, but
not even in generous California does
opportunity knock twice at the same
mans door without admittance.
