The harmonious growth Of a city as
a whole is the ideal OF every city, but
few indeed have so nearly attained II
as has Washington, and this harmony or
the city as a whole Is a Tar greater
source Of local pride than any OF her

One Of the chief essentials to a sue
cessful real estate business Is experience.
While il is true that there are other fac
tors which do much toward making for
success in this line II is, after all, the
man who has been at the business and
understands It thoroughly from top to
bottom who succeeds. The successful
real estate man must be a judge OF val
ues. He must be able to tell what can
be expected in the future from what has
taken place in the past. There is no
school except experience which will en-
able a man to achieve this gift. The
