RENTALS DECLARED
VITAL TO REALTORS
J. F. Bowie Tells 7. N. c. A.
Class of Importance Of
''Feeder" Department.

Relative Importance Of the rent
department in q real estate business
was explained to members Of the
week by J. F. NJ. Bowie, rental man
ager in one Of tho large realty Of
fees here.
Because of the number Of persons
attracted to the Office in connection
with rentals, this department, Mr.
Bowie said. was in reality q feeder"
for the various other departments
Of a real estate business. In view
Of the fact that it produced q more
Of commissions in the collection Of
rentA it. in many instances. is the
backbone Of the organization. he
pointed out.
An Important Branch.
To be successful in managing and
developing this branch of the busi-
ness, Mr.. Bowie asserted, one must
possess not only a knowledge of the
rather practical understanding Of hu-
termining the desirability. of pros
pective tenants. both from the stand
point OF financial responsibility and
peculiar adaptability for certain
types of property, in many instances
is very complex problem
The rental department Of q real
estate office must OF necessity be the
go-between between landlord and
tenant" the speaker said. This, in
some instances. involves delicate sit
uations that require tact and diplom-
acy. While the broker Is represent
ing the owner in all matters IN which
the tenant is interested, at the same
time it is highly desirable to culti-
vate pleasant relation with tenants
based on fair treatment"
Mr.. Bowie further stated that the
apartment house branch Of the rent
business had grown to large propor-
tions through the fact that many peo-
pie were attracted to this class of
property by economic necessity and
the natural tendency to seek the
many convenience offered. The care
and maintenance Of apartment houses
involve many features. and a rather
general knowledge of construction Is
necessary in order to maintain q
building In proper repair.
Economy Also Stressed.
An important item in the operat,on
Of apartment buildings Is that of
economy. One of the commonest
forms of extravaganza in operation
is the careless handling of fuel. 1t
was pointed out, through scientific
study by the bureau Of mines. that
tremendous saving could be realized
by proper care Of furnaces, with the
result that considerable saving in
fuel has been effected.
The next lecture in this course will
be delivered Tuesday night, Novem-
ber 20. by Frank P. Leeteh, local
realtor, who will explain to the class
the management Of office building
and business properties.
