 And I am sorry. Miss White. that you didn't know about our escrow business. because it would have saved you much worry. You see after per son decides on the piece of property that they wish to purchase they may deposit the purchase price with us with instructions that when we have secured a clear title to the place that we are to pay for it and turn the prop erty over to the new owner. This way saves the purchaser many tire some details, which we assume.

The Business World Gives Me a Pleasant Surprise That l Didn't Expect.

Don't you think that business tran sections of any sort are more or less annoying2 Especially when nothing more interesting is involved than few papers with a dotted line on which you are requested to sign your name and perhaps sealed impress sion at the bottom of the page that you can hardly read.
 'I was almost annoyed when I found that a title insurance or an abstract or something would be neces- safy to insure me that the property I wanted to purchase would be really mine. 1 had vague idea or two about titles and abstracts and so on, but I didn't know much about them or how to get one.
 But it really is awfully simple and proved to be one of the most inter esting experiences that l have had since coming to Phoenix.
 "I didn't even ask anyone where to go but just kept watchful eye on the business section of the city and when l saw the Phoenix Title and Trust company I was so impressed by the business like aspect of the estab- lishment that l felt sure that l had found the right place.
 I am afraid that I must have asked an awful tot of questions because it was not long before MT. Coggins, the wee pr6SidenI, nau lOlu IIie many III % teresting things about the way the Phoenix Title & Trust company han dle their business.
 "Yes. Miss White" he said, ''We will get out title insurance policy for you within a very few days. And when you get it you will know that the title to your property is entirely clear and that you will risk no legal trouble whatsoever" That was such a relief because I think it would be awful to purchase a place and then later on have some one come along with a mortgage or something and make things unpleasant for you.
 "And out in this country you will find it much different from the east, Miss White" he said. Tn the New England states, and also in many other parts of the east property is very often held by the same family for generations. And thus there are not many changes in the title. But here in Arizona one piece of real estate may change hands ten or a dozen times a year. each transaction fnvolv-

not feel the slightest worry concern ing the transaction.
 And then too, we hold titles in trust Perhaps you understand how that is. Just supposing that five or six men purchased a block for busi- ness purposes. Very likely several of them, whose signatures would be necessary, would be in the east, or up north. or somewhere else. We'll the property would be decded to us in trust and the transaction would be closed. And a subsequent sale of it would be carried on in the same way
 And now Miss White, would you not like to see the office2' And I did so enjoy goiug through the Phoenix Title Sc Trust company office. There is a force of 70 people, all working in a large and airy room. Complete ab- stracts of property are turned out in a very few days and titles of 1nsur- ance in a little less time. And you can be sure that no one can get you into the clutches of the law and cause you any annoyance or truble about vour property I am showing you picture of the inside of the Phoenix Title X Trust company office. Isn't it a splendid looking place.
