Topeka Realtors IN Favor Of Active
Legislation for State.

The time is coming and not far dis
tant, Topeka Realtors say, when every
state in the Union will have passed a
license law for real estate brokers
The significant part of, the whole
proposition is that these laws are not
only agitated but are drafted by
Realtors themselves and pressnted to
the legislatures. California has been
working under such a Law for some
time. and a license law mas just been
passed recently by the Louisiana leg
islature.
It may be readily seen why a state
hceEse law is desirable to the Reslt
First, it establishes him in his com
munity as a pretty reliable fellow. be-
cause. before he can do business, his
application for a license must be rec
commended by at least two citizens
who own property valued at $1,000
or over, and he must be able to fur
nish first class reference and proof
that he bears a good reputation for
honesty and fair dealing. Second, ev-
cry real estate broker must maintain
a place of business in the state, and
under board rules, every broker must
maintain an office other than at his
residence. This is very desirable as it

BOOST TO ADVERTISING
Effectiveness Proven by Capitol Build
ing and Loan.

That advertising may be so plan
ned as to be tremendously effective is
illustrated very effectively by a story
told this week by ]. L. Hersh. seere-
tary of the Capitol Building & Loan
association.
A Topeka man listed his property
with a local dealer. It was adver-
tised in a detailed description, q
beautiful six-room house. 1t was ad-
vertised for several days. The man
came in soon and asked about the
property and wanted to know the To-
cation, which had not been. given.
The Rea1tor sold the man his own
home. He agreed that IL was exactly
what he wanted but had not realized
it until advertising brought out its
beauty. Hersh points out that per-
sons who want to sell with the pur-
pose of re-buying would do well to be
sure that they do not already possess
something better. or as good as any
thing else they could find.
