HOW MUCH MONEY SHOULD Be SPENT
FOR ADVERTISING REAL ESTATE?
The average real dealer will tell you to keep
advertising until the property soldthat in the final
counting the advertising expense will be found to be
excessive
This will occasionally happen that adver-
tsement costing but few dollars will find buyer for
that property valued many thousands. Again it will
happen that because of poor advertising appeal results
are long deferred
A merchant meeting heavy overhead expense, still
feels that he risk making his advertising appropr
alton than and half three per of his gross
sales.
property owner whose brokerage fees much
smaller than the merchants overhead should feel that
appropriation of four FIVE percent of the valuation of
his real estate would not be excessive
Working with definite figure in mind he enabled to
make his initial advertising striking fully informative and
convincing And this that such initial advertising
will usually accomplish the result His first copy should
exhaust his tentative appropriation of course but
should occupy ample space which emphasize his
sage The first advertisement of real should be
adequate one-and it will often transpire that the
paen will be won through it's first bold stroke

Smallpox Situation Under Con-

Kansas City is defending itself
against the order report/ to have
been issued by the Missouri state board
of health to the effect that after De-
cember %, persons coming in or trav-
cling thru that state must show evl-
denec of recent vaccination for small

announce there is no quarantine
against Kansas City, that the smallpox
situation there is under control and
that they feel the city has been done
visitors as usual at this time of the
year. Furthermore, the notices signed
by these officials would seem to show
that they fell the city has been done
rank injustice by the report that
ban to visitors was on and that the
of public health.
Statement From Kansas City Mayor
The cards carry the following
statement from Mayor Cowgirl: 1T
is to be regretted that some papers
and many people have obtained an
altogether erroneous impression as to
the smallpox situation in Kansas City.
There has never been a serious situa
ton so far as the city at large was
concerned. At the first outbreak our
board of health very promptly inau-
gurated a 100 per cent vaccination
campaign among the schools and
larger establishments. This has been
successful in controlling the situation.
Our friends need have no hesitancy in
visiting our city as usual at this sea-
son of the year. We extend to them
a hearty invitation"
The statement of the hospital and
health board is more lengthy and con-
tains even a stronger denial that there
is anything wrong with health condi-
lions in Kansas City at this time,
claiming that the smallpox situation
there has never been more serious
than at other cities. and that there
is not now nor ever has been a quar-
antine against the city.
The placards have been sent out
over the Union Pacific by S. c.
Rhodes, general passenger agent for
that company at Kansas City.
