SAYS LIVE REALTY MAN
IS EXPERT MERCHANT
Old Dealer Declares Advertising Is
Greatest Aid to the
Broker.


Old-time real estate brokers realize
the successful real estate broker is no
longer a broker, but a merchant.
Modern merchandising methods today
represent the most advanced ideas as
they are found in the larger real es-
tate offices. This alone proves there is
something to tthe merchandising" idea
as applied to selling and renting houses
and lots.
In speaking of this modern twist to
real estate selling and renting. one of
the old-timers in Minneapolis said:
ut is the same idea nowadays in the
realty business that has made the dry
goods stores and their wonderfully eff
fective selling and advertising meth
DDS so profitable. Dry goods stores
talk to the people. frequently, in an at
tractive manner and best of all per-

REALTY ORGANIZATIONS
IN NINETY CITIES NOW
Movement Inaugurated Seven Years
Ago Has Been Sue
cessful.

About seven years ago general
movement was inaugurated through
out the United States and Canada look
ing to the organization and formation
of real estate boards and exchanges in
every city of any Importance. How
successful this movement has been is
evidenced by the fact that today over
ninety cities of the United States and
Canada have active and live real estate
boards and exchanges, says the Ma
tional Real Estate Journal. Coincident
with the formation of these real estate
boards and exchanges was the organi-
cation of the National Association Of
Real Estate Exchanges. a parent or
ganiZation having general powers and
control and organized for the improve
ment, uplifting and general welfare OF
the realty business. 1t is through this
organization that national legislation
with reference to taxes. national i'm
provements and equitable laws are to
be secured.
In practically every state in the
Union there has been organized what
is known as the State Real Estate As
sociation, composed of all the boards
and exchanges of the cities of that
state. These state organizations are
citation and it Is through state organi-
cations that state legislation and i'm
provements are looked after
During the last six years great prog
ress has been made by the city real
estate boards in the equalization of
rates, commissions, appraisements, etc.
Fake real estate projects have been
vigorously dealt with and in many in
stances through the efforts of the local
boards and exchanges offenders have
been punished.
A code of ethics adopted by the ma
tional association has been affirmed
and adopted by all the boards and ex-
changes and the profession has been
put upon a much higher plane than it
has heretofore ever occupied.
The National Association of Real Es-
tate Exchanges has become interna-
tionally prominent in the world of civic
and trade organizations. representing
as it does some 5000 real estate brok-
ers and owners. who, according to a re-
cent investigation, operate or own $45,-
0o.000.000 worth of good old mother
earth and the buildings thereon. It
Yields power for the good of the pro-
fession that can hardly be estimated.

WRITER DISCUSSES LIFE
OF COMPOSITION FLOORS

The life Of composition flooring when
properly installed is undetermined,
says writer in the Real Estate Mag
azine. Material suita bly, installed six
or eight years ago shows no appre-
ciable deterioration. 1t will doubtless
be good for 100 years. If it has not
the life of marble. tile and mosaic.
which are good for more than 1000
years, composition flooring will none
the less outlive the usefulness of the
building in which it is installed, except
in the rare instances of certain monu-
mental buildings. For these instances
the following actuary's table may have
significance. In general, it may be
considered immune from the feeble
ness of old age: Marble. 100 years;
tile. 100: paving brick. 100: mosaic,

Changing Weathered Oak.
From Kieth's Magazine.

The trim of a fine residence was oak
which was to be treated with a wealth
cred oak stain and rubbed to dull
finish. The furniture which was pur-
chased for the house was mahogany.
and when installed the contrast was
anything but pleasing to the Young
couple for whom, the house had just
been erected. The owner, therefore.
decided to tear out the oak finishing
castings. doors. etc. and replace with
birch.
Just at this time. however, it occur
red to one of the men EMPLOYED by
the painter having the contract for
the work that much trouble might be
saved by treating the woodwork to. a
mahogany oil stain. He therefore rubbed
down portion Of the oak and applied
the mahogany stain to it with such
pleasing results that the entire wood
work was gone over, after sanding
nished.
The effect was mahogany finish
somewhat darker than usual, but ney-
ertheless a very satisfactory job.

Roofs 800 Years Old.

Stone roofs are very common in
Malta. and give excellent service, ac-
cording to Consul James Oliver Laing
of Valetta. The custom is an ancient
one, and is continued because stone
roofs are cheap and durable. II have
seen such roofs here 300 years old and
perfectly good" he said. Large
beams of wood were used in ancient
times upon which to lay the stone.
The beams were about 10x7 inches.
Steel beams about the size of an Amer
lean Trail. but a little higher, are
now used"

Builder Analyses Tenants.

Some years ago a successful builder
at the outset of his career began to
wonder where he would get tenants
to fill his apartment houses, says Con-
struction News.
After he had been in the business a
little while he reached the conclusion
that one-third of the people who rent
ed his apartments came from out of
the city; another third were newly
married couples. and the other third
came from different parts of the city,
from localities in which industry had
driven out the residence section Of the
community.

MA CITY SCHOOL BoARO-MAY
COME TO ARDMORE.

oklahoma City, June 27-Govern-
or Cruce threatened to move the
executive office to Ardmore his home
if the Oklahoma City school board in.
sisted on its position that the state
should pay rent after July l on the
old high school building at Third
and Walnut.
Oklahoma City was very liberal
in its promises when the state cap
ital was moved here" said the gov
ernor, but if It had not been such
a laggard in carrying out its ag-ca-
ment, the state would have a capitol
completed and occupied before this"
The governor pointed out that the
state had expended $4,000 to put
the old high school in condition for
offices, and to construct two vaults
III it. He made it plain that the
approaching close Of his term and bis
dislike for downtown offices, would
be factors that might influence him
to move to Ardmore.
When Governor Haskell moved the
state offices from Guthrie here on
the day of the capital election in
June 1910, it was sought to compel
his return. The state supreme court
held that the other officers mist re
main in Guthrie pending further lti-
cation, but that the governor could
not be mandamused to stay or to
return.
The school board has served notice
on the state board of public affairs
that the lease on the old high school
expires June 50. Under the agree
ment signed in 1910, the state used
the building rent-free,
The governors statement, so far
as Oklahoma City's work in fulfilling
her obligations in the capitol matter
is concerned, came as a surprise TO
those who have been active in help
ing Oklahoma City. Members of the
various capitol campaign committees
have repeatedly pointed out that the
city has done not only her part. but
more, in the collection of various
monies, the securing O. abstracts to
land, the furnishing of rent money,
and the like. And in view of the
fact that the last act required of
Oklahoma City was performed when
the city turned over the last of
70-odd thousand sum to the state,
gained in great part by telephone re-
bates, Oklahoma City men contended
Friday that the governors assertion
was unjust
