changes are Of course made. The report

In a bulletin issued by the exchange weekly
or semi-monthly and mailed to all MEM
bers Of the exchange and In such other

gard TO the property. and members must

ANY person" adds Mr.. Patterson and
the other committeeman may file with
any member Of the exchange a listing
want giving q description OF property de-
sired 10 be purchased or OF any loan
wanted. giving the description Of the
property which listing want may, at his
option be published in the exchange bulle-
tin.
1T shall be optional with the members
Of the exchange whether or not they list
with the exchange property held by them
under exclusive agency contracts
Owners Of property for sale who wish
to get the best results and get the assist
anee OF all the members OF the exchange
IN selling the property, are urged 70 list
their properties with single agent. II is
a mistake to believe that listing with
several agents increases the chance OF
making a sale. What is everyone's BUSH
ness Is no ones, and an agent cannot
afford to properly advertise and otherwise
push the sale Of particular piece OF
property unless he is reasonably sure OF
getting his commission in case of sale
Moreover, every purchaser wishes to buy
at the lowest price. lie will naturally deal
with the agent who offer the property
cheapest, which puts 8 premium on price
cutting and invariably results in q loss
TO the owner. An exclusive listing not
only prevents price cutting. but is an in
centive TO the agent TO devote his best
efforts TO putting the property on the
market advantageously II also enables
him TO deal freely with other agents In
connection with the property on the basis
OF cooperation instead OF competitive price
cutting"
