True Cooperative Work

Some real cooperative work began
to show itself among the members OF
the Omaha Real Estate board at the
last meeting, when the members. fol.
lowing previous suggestion, brought
in some lists OF properties they have
for sale. They stuck up blackboard
and listed these lots and houses. and
other properties where all those pres.
ent could see them. Thus when Ed
Slater scrawled down description OF
a piece OF property he wants to sell
for a customer, 6. G. Wallace said:
That's just what I've been looking
for for client OF nine" When A. !,
Crcigh jotted down a description OF
vacant lot which it is up to him
to dispose OF, Byron R. Hastings
threatened to find him buyer that
very afternoon, for he had cali for
just such piece.
Now, that we have dropped the
name exchange from our organiza-
tion's title" said one realtor, I'VE are

Real Estate Exchange
Invests Funds in Land

Membership fees in the Omaha
Real Estate board to the amount OF
$500 are already available in the
boards treasury, and this the board
proposes to spend at once in Omaha
real estate.
At the last meeting OF the board
held Wednesday. it was decided that
since Omaha real estate values are
showing such remarkable advances,
the board itself. which is now incor-
porated, should lose no time in in
vesting some Of its money. II was
the general expression Of the body
that this money ought to be invested
at once, and c. c. George moved that
the executive committee Ct the board
be empowered to look for available
property that could be purchased by
the board and report on the condition
next week. 1t was the general opin-
ion that the board should buy Omaha
property with the 81 500 as the first
payment, and that it should 60 the
limit credit on the strength Of this
equity in obtaining some good pieces
Of Omaha properly.

"Rea|torS" Get Licenses
From National Association

Realtors in Omaha now have GER
tihcates from the National Associa-
ton of Real Estate Boards. These
certificates are duly framed and are
hanging in the Offices of the accredited
realtors of the city. Perhaps they
should more properly be called IL
censc. for they give the dealer a H.
cense to use the name Of "Realtor"
as designating himself or his firm in
It's professional capacity for the term
OF one year. AT the end Of that time,
he must renew his certificate, or IL
cense, or be no longer listed as a
realtor. The name "Realtor" is copy
righted and no one may use it with
