Making Auction
Resigns as President
Of u. S. Realty Co.
Laurence Mcclure Leaves Post:
Paul Starrett Selected az
His Successor

Laurence Mcclure, who served the
United States Realty and Improvement
Company as president for two years.
resigned yesterday. the resignation be-
ing accepted with regret by the board
of directors, who subsequently elected
Paul Starrett as his successor. Mr..
Starrett has been president for more
than ten years of the George A. Fuller
Company, q subsidiary OF the Realty
Company.
Mr.. Mcclure was elected presiden.
in June, 1917. after the company had
experienced heavy losses on subway
contracts and the real estate market
was in poor condition. In two years
this company has made remarkable
improvement and is now in scand finan-
cial condition, with encouraging pros
poets for the future. Mr. Mcclure was
for five years president of the Real
Estate Board of New York.
Mr.. McGuire's retirement from the
presidency to a place in the board Of
directors comes at a time when the
company is enjoying a splendid finan-
cial position. Through the retiring
president tho company recently ar
ranged its financial affairs by the ref
nancing of its mortgage obligations
with an issue of s7.o0o,Oo0 5,s per cent
twenty-year bonds. purchased by the
National City Company and since sold
TO investors in practically every city
in the Union.
In announcing his retirement. Mr..
Mcclure said that the step was taken
with regret. tempered, however, with
pleasure in the realization that his
esteemed friend and co-worker. Mr..
Starrett, had been elected to succeed
/ him.
Tho company made an excellent
choice" said Mr.. Mcclure, "in the Sc
lection of Mr.. Starrett, who has been
so long identified with it's affairs and
for whose administration wish every
possible success.
MY decision to retire" said Mr..
Mcclure, was reached sometime ago
when informed the board of directors
that my personal affairs required
more attention than l could possibly
give. am glad to say, however, will
be identified with the affairs of the
company through remaining on it's
board of directors"
Mr.. McGuire cited as the compelling
reason for his retirement the obtain
ing OF substantial interest in the Big
nell Concrete Pile Company, which
owns the basic patent for the pile
invented by Edward Bignell, superin-
tendent of the Burlington Railroad.
1T is understood that Mr.. Mcclure
will leave for the West on Saturday
to familiarize himself with the Big
nell piling work to be done at Grand
Island, Bridgeport, Neb., and various
o'her points on the Burlington Rail
road.
