Speaker Discusses
Real Estate Trade
Romance of Business Stressed
In Talk to Y. M. c. A.
Class in Denver.

THE Romance of the Real Estate
Business and How to Use 1t" was
the subject of a talk given by F. D.
Zimmerman, advertising manager Of
the Continental Oil Company. before
the Denver, Colo, Y. NJ. c. A, real
estate class.
with no intention Of being in
any way sacreligious." he said, but
on the contrary quite the opposite,
let me say first of all that God Is
the Great Realtor. for the whole
round earth is His and all real es-
tate is included in IT."
Mr.. Zimmerman then discussed
the seemingly prosaic real estate
business against background Of
historic associations. quoting from
authors both ancient and modern,
ranging from Francis Bacon to Ed
gar Guest. to show the difference
between "a house" and "a home"
and supporting his distinction with
dictionary definitions. He traced
the development of property owner
ship and exchange through the
ages and brought out the fact that
it is not grandeur that tends most
to make a house '1ivable."
"I do not mean that the salesman
should outline to his prospect the
romance of real estate with its fas-
cinations Of tradition and history
and human interest" he said. IF
he is inside his Job and sees its ro-
nance. however. It will make him
love his business and love OF his
business will generate enthusiasm.
Enthusiasm is one Of the greatest
elements of success in any line"
Mr.. Zimmerman showed a number
of charts, bringing his talk down to
practical basis. These charts
demonstrated how to assemble talk
ing points for the sale of real es-
tate according to the kind OF Gus
toner.
III the man whom you are trying
to interest in a piece of property is
wealthy, the price probably will be
the least important consideration
he explained. Style, neighborhood
and a dozen other features will have
precedence.

COPPER DECLARED
AS BEST MATERIAL
Authority Warns Against
Substitution of Inferior
Articles.

Architects and contractors. metal
iurgists and economists concede the
great superiority of copper products
over other metals used in building"
says the Copper and Brass Associa-
tion of New York In a book issued
called How to Build a Better Home" I"
The reason Is that architects and
contractors must accede to the
clients orders to keep down costs
wherever possible. You plan to
the general experience that the
building appropriation Is exceeded
when the plans come up for final
consideration.
1T is found that an extra $500 or
so is required. The home builder Is
not willing to sacrifice a room or
a porch or some other feature. The
architect is reluctant to change the
house plan. Likewise the contractor
He prefers to have his construction
work go through-to use good lum-
Der, good brick, good stone, etc
Both architect and contractor want
to keep the home builder satisfied
But there is that extra $500! It
Is natural for them to take the
course with the home builder that
retrenchments can be made in the
appropriations for plumbing, roofing
and hardware. The home builder.
uniformed concerning true econo-
my. makes a bad start. And that
Is how substitutes take the place
Of copper and brass when the home
builder fails to realize the error
of this course.
Let the home builder consider
the question from his own View
point-as a matter Of business Here
Is what conservative business
leader in this country writes on tho
subject:
Il say unreservedly that Il Is
not good business to continue the
use of substitutes for copper and
copper products in the fields where
they are pre-eminent, now that
copper is plentiful.
Tt may be good business from
the standpoint OF the plumber to use
q substitute for brass pipe. because
he knows that in time he will have
to replace that pipe.
Tt may be good business for a
dealer to sell BRASS
plated steel screws, because there
is more profit in them than in solid
brass screws.
1T may even be good business
for a roofer to lay a tin roof
that requires constant upkeep ex-
pense and replacement every few
years. instead OF a copper roof, the
life Of which when properly laid is
everlasting.
But none OF these things is
good business for the consumer (the
home builder). The slightly higher
initial cost OF copper, brass and
copper products generally does not
deter their use when the ultimate
saving accomplished by them is un-
derstood'
The last sacrifice you should
make is any involving the quality
of the plumbing, roofing or hard
ware in your home"

The actual size of the houses, not
