Our Plan
LUCIAN L. LUCAS

Is to bring the Wants-to-
Sell and Wants-to-Buy to-
gether. Those wanting a
certain kind of property are
invited to send us a descrip-
tion of the want. We will adj
vertise these wants at no cost
to the Wants, except in case
of a sale or a tenant secured,
when a commission will be
expected from the owner of
the property. The name of
the party who wants will be
unknown. This is the most
fair and sure method of sat
isfying a prospective buyer.
Also if properties for sale
are listed with us, we will ad-
vertise them, giving special
advertising and effort to sell
to each individual property;
and satisfactory results by
this plan should be sure. We
do not wait for a buyer to
come and ask US to sell him
something; we find and bring
