SUNDAY MAGAZINE for December IL, 1915
Selling Suburban Lots
By ALBERT w. ATWOOD

TN 1911 l signed contract for some
lots in New jersey writes IA man
from New York City, "and now am
anxious to realize ready money on the
same. What, in your estimation, is the
best possible method of procedure?'
There are probably at least ten thou
sand people in New York City alone who
would like to discover the best possible
method of getting little ready money
out of lots that they contracted to buy
several years ago. There is no satisfac-
tory answer to their eager question, If
| knew of any, it could be patented, and
my fortune would be made.
There is no best method, for there is
no good method. Obviously, the first
and only step for a man to take who
wishes to dispose of real estate anywhere
is to put it in the hands of all the local
real estate agents of repute. 1t costs little
or nothing to ask an agent to sell property
for you; the expense comes when he finds
a purchaser, and the difficulty comes in
his finding one. The simple, obvious
thing for this owner to do is to take a
ferry-boat across the Hudson River, board
Il trolley car that will quickly take him to
the little village where his lots are situate,
call upon two or three agents, and place
his lots in their hands for sale. If he
wants to be very cautious. he should first
inquire at local bank as to the standing
of the agents.

A Few Rules

THERE are a few simple rules about real
estate that need to be repeated very
often. |. The purchase of a house and
lot for use as a home may be, and usually
is, wise and wholesome investment.
,. The purchase of land by person who
expects to farm it himself, provided he
has the requisite knowledge and ability
to work, is usually wise investment.
3. The purchase of first mortgage upon
income-producing land and buildings
usually proves Il wise Investment. 4. The
purchase of income-producing land and
buildings for sale to Others or for opera
ton, or the purchase of unimproved land
for development and sale to Others. by
persons trained in, and giving their whole
time to, the real estate business, often

will try the water still in the pool, you
will find ii salt. And that salt, also put
there by Fisher, was one more needed
preparation. Once il was there, without
going into any electrical technology
Mrs Fisher had only to touch the water,
with her hand upon one of those metal
fittings, something she was morally GER
tain to do when stopping either III or out
and hlr death was certain. In fact, it was
the voltage shock that caused the swelling
and discoloration about her throat. Then,
as she fell, she struck the faucet with the
side Of her head and received what seemed
to be the real wound. The platinum wire
was naturally fused and left no trace
save the little pellet of metal that we
found two days ago.
And the magazine" asked Bishop.
"Where does your magazine come in9
That magazine, answered Laneham,
contains an account of a similar crime
committed in lower Austria. | have no
doubt il was what gave Fisher his whole
idea and method. And the fact that it is
the most obscure OF German medical
journals with not ten subscribers. | sup
pose in all america made il seem to
him that he was perfectly safe in taking
the chance.
THE END
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1915-12-12

there was no reason why Fisher shouldn't
have bought it. Yet, simply because he
showed some uncalled-for agitation at
being seen buying it, Vikings must make
up his mind to say nothing about it. The
evidence showed, as he believed. that
Fisher could have had nothing to do with
the crime. Therefore, why speak of some
thing that could only throw unjust sus-
picion on the perfectly innocent?
We'll. in sense, | wasn't circumStan-
TALLY certain myself that Fisher was the
murderer That was why | fixed up the
s6ance. But if | had known Of that
platinum wire don't think should have
needed to look for that German maya
zine. But that's all passed now come
and see for yourselves.
He led them through to the swimming
pool.
The platinum wire was attached here.
He mounted the plant stand and pointed
to a discoloration just barely discernible
on one of the thick insulated wires that
ran out to the big central lighting bell.
Thence it was carried under the stand
here, and along the floor, to one of those
metal fittings beside YOU that nearest
faucet. probably And the tinenesS of the
wire would make it practically certain
she would never notice it. Now, If you

proves successful profession or business,
s. The purchase of land and buildings for
rental by persons unfamiliar with the
technique of the real estate business often
proves of doubtful wisdom. 6. The pur-
chase Of non-ncome-producing land by
persons unfamiliar with the real estate
business is merely foolish.
How Real Estate Values Differ
from Stock Values
THERE is no best method, or any sure or
satisfactory method, of selling unim-
proved lots; and why should there be?
After ALL the value of such piece of
property is largely guess-work. There is
no one great central market in which it
can be appraised, as there is for certain
stocks and bonds. Every lot is different
from every other lot Pieces of real
estate, except perhaps certain prairie sec
tions in the West, are unlike one another.
Most of them are too small for men of
large affairs, expert knowledge, and large
capital to bother with. But every share
of stock of large corporation, of the
Pennsylvania Railroad as an example, is
like every other one of nearly 100000
shares. They are all exactly alike, and
all have precisely similar value. Thus
there are always people to buy and SELL
But how can there be many people to buy
and sell any particular lot, when each lot
and there are millions and millions of them
has different value from every other?
Each piece of land is too separate,
distinct, different, and individual to be
disposed of easily. No one human being
or even whole profession can hope
to know the value of them all. Probably
there are 10000 real estate dealers of one
kind or another in New York City; and
yet, dealer in one section would know
nothing about the value of a lot in another.
For this reason, no one has ever been
able to devise any method of making land
more marketable. Thousands of articles
and scores of books have been written on
such subjects as How 10 Sell Real Els
tate; but they apply only to agents,
dealers, professional operators, the origi-
nal promoters and expoiters. No one has
ever written an article telling the inexpert
"investor" how to get rid of lot.
