Operating Plans
OF the Bankers
Realty Company
Continued From Page Eisht--B)

Continued From Page Eisht--B.)
The buying public, which has seen
practically every other line revolu-
tionized by the injection of modern
and efficiency methods into its bust
ness, has wondered why the builders
have been so slow in meeting the de-
mands for better building service.
They had come to the conclusion that
the building business could be entirely
revised by means Of an adjustment
here and Encouragement there.
Such, however, Is not tine case. II
it were the builders would have long
ago eliminated the waste and the
methods Of inef6ciency and uncer-
tainty of an older-day building
method. .
Finally, builders making study of
the situation recognized that the two
important elements to be considered
were cooperation and organization.
From the careful study of the difficult
ties was evolved what is known as
1.-The Modern Building Organization"
And those concerns which were in a
position to adopt this plan have dem
onstrated to hundreds of satisfied
building owners that there is way to
conduct a large building operation, or
large number of smaller building
operations, that is both efficient ard
economical.
The difficulty, the investors found,
was in the fact that so many different
professions and trades were necessary
to the construction of a large building.
Of the former, eight or more are re-
CURED, while forty-six or more differ
ent trades are necessary to the COM
pletion of large building. To these
must be added the services of men
intimately acquainted with the many
kinds of materials, products, devices,
etc. 1t can be seen, from this, that the
building business, as whole, is prob
ably one of the most complicated in
existence today.
The Modern Building organization
does not attempt to weld all these into
whole; it docs not attempt to equip
itself with the facilities for construct
ing everything in the way of build
ing.
When the Bankers Realty Invest
ment company adopted its plan of
Modern Building organization, it did
not equip itself to do marine building,
nor buildings peculiar to the Atlantic
or Pacific coasts. But it did study the
needs of, and place itself in position,

This building will be located on
ground recently selected at the corner
of the Linwood boulevard and the
Paseo and will offer appointments ano

When the Bankers Realty is ap.
preached by some individual who has
a plan for big building but who ha,
not sufficient funds or credit wit
which to carry out his plans, the frst
thing the company does is to invest
gate his scheme as to its feasibility

pany will find him one. Ii he wants
to handle the proposition by himself
with the assistance OF the Bankers
company, the big building concern
will assist him.
The Loan Limit.
The Bankers Realty will loan up L
about 50 per cent of the cost of the
building. And by the amortization
plan the company has evolved, one
tenth Of the money advanced by it is
repaid each year, In this way, .
the end of ten years the property Is,
clear and the Bankers Realty has re
ceived all its money. In fact, cac
year the company gets back one-tent
of the debt and this money is imme
diately used in some other buildin
plan, The company's money keen
working all the time. Also, the "risl
decreases one-tenth each year, an
should the property decrease in valuI
the company's loan is still safe,
When the loan is made, the cor
pany issues its bonds for the amour
and these bonds are sold in the cas-,

sometimes TO wealthy individuals. B
this method the company keeps ii

Sigmund Landsberg

Omaha musical circles were very
deeply apd sadly shocked at the
death Of Sigmund Landsberg. He
had lived many years in Omaha, and
was widely known In the state and
abroad. He was constantly compos-
ing, and his work was published and
sold. 1t was played alike by stu
dents and artists. Hardly any Of
US, his friends, but have a song with
his ornate and original autograph,
which we treasure.
Sigmund Landsberg might have
been quite rich man if he had not
sold DRY Yo' Eyes" for fifteen dol
lars to publisher. Thousands OF
copies have been sold, and the attrac-
tive air has been arranged for almost
every combination OF voices and sung
far and wide. Strange to relate, this
song lay for eight years before it
came into the ranks of the best SELL
ers. Mr.. Landsberg used to tell
about it, and he called his little story
The Physiology of Song" 1t in
terested him to observe how the
whimsical thought of morning
could rise to such a burst Of popu-
larity. He could never quite COM
pass the exact explanation of this
particular happening, but would
shake his head and laugh, and say,
We'll, that's the way it goesp
| have the pleasure Of remembering
that on two Saturdays this summer
he gave little picnic parties at our
place in the Florence hills. He said
he enjoyed the grass, and the green
trees. He played through a score
of "Parsifal," which was lying on the
piano In the music room, and looked
at several books on musical subjects,
but it was the great out-of-doors that
he reveled in--the air, the area of
space, and the great quiet.
l am particularly indebted to him
for helping me arrange Wilbur N.
Nesbitt's Flag Song" which was
sung by quartet at the unwilling
of the Fontenelle portrait. The Co.
lonial Danes Of Nebraska appreci-
ated his enthusiastic and kindly eff
fort. The hymn added greatly to the
ceremony.
The Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben were
grateful to him for many tuneful
hours. He told me that he enjoyed
so much conducting his opera on
gala occasions. He had many threads
Of friendship woven in various pat
terms, and it is hard to understand
why he chose suddenly to leave
everybody and everything dear to
him, and go out into the great un-
known. He was jolly, sunny, little
man. Certainly grief did not seem
to belong to him. I suppose he got
to the place where he couldn't smile
any more; tears and depression he
couldn't stand. Well. we wish him
peace and a happy Issue out of all
his difficulties. He will be missed hv
those he left behind who are still
marching along the dusty road
