JOHN L. WEAVER TALKS
TO Y. M. C. A. CLASS
Stresses Adhering Strictly to
Ethics in Real Estat
Profession

Necessity for adhering strictly to
an ethical practice in the real estate
profession was stressed by John L.
Weaver in an address this week be-
fore the Y. NJ. c. A. real estate class.
Ethics when applied to real estate
means more than right conduct in the
practice of the profession. Mr.. Weaver
told the class. 1t includes a broader
duty in the study and development
of civic matters. such as taxation.
coming. health conditions, building and
assisting in the general development
of the city
The distinction between a real es-
tate broker and a real estate dealer.
ii was pointed out. is that a broker
in serving a client sets up the legal
relation of principal and agent. and
in this respect has certain serious
obligations which put him in a diff
ferent class than a dealer who simply
buys and sells for his own account.
Mr. Weaver. in referring TO the ac-
tivities of the National Association of
Real Estate Boards. of which organ
iZation he is a past president. stated
that the establishment of real estate
courses by local boards throughout
the country was forward step in
elevating the real estate business to
a professional plane. While such a
course does not. qualify one as an
experienced broker. it does instill in
the minds of the young men and wom-
en- entering the real estate field
realization of the serious responsible
ties of the profession and the need
for special training to become expert,
he said.
Real estate boards. in cooperation
with state authorities. are making
marked progress in eliminating the
inexperienced and dishonest broker
through the enforcement of model
license laws that are restrictive, both
as regards qualifications and prac-
tice.
The special real estate course will
close with the meeting next Tuesday,
at which Harry h. Boss will address
the class on Development Of a Real
Estate Business.

NASH MOTORS HEAD
ANNOUNCES D|CTUM
ON PRICE FUTURES
Declares Profit to Be Gagged
on Basis of Reasonable
Return Only.

In answer to numerous inquiries
coming to him concerning the future
prices of Nash products. G. w. Nash,
president of the Nash Motors company,
kenosha. Wis. said, These inquiries !
believe are largely occasioned by re-
cent announcements of price declines
on the part of some manufacturers IN
the automobile industry. 1t is not my
purpose to discuss the motives or
causes leading up to their decision.
II am proud of the past achieve
ments of the Nash Motors company. !
feel certain of it's future. / am sure
that our company can and will produce
and market passenger cars and trucks
in their price class at least as cheaply
as any other manufacturing concern
similarly engaged.
have turned a deaf ear to all sugges-
tons of inflated prices when market
conditions were such that our produc-
ton constituted only a small percent
age of u demand. l do not endorse
that method, believing as ! do that
such a procedure is manifestly unfair
and is the cause of much of the dis
content and inequalities that are today
so prevalent.
Taking as an example our standard
five passenger car and considering the
additional cost of cord tires and many
other improvements, it has been ad-
vanced practically "a per cent over
u pre-war prices. The same is true
with reference to our other models.
Labor, which constitutes the largest
percentage of the cost of our product,
is being paid at present the highest
prices in our history. This item alone
has increased several times the advance
noted above and it cannot be reduced.
We cannot buy the high grade mate
rails used in our cars and trucks any
cheaper.
I'm passing, compare this percentage
of increase in the price of our product
over pre-war prices with others en-
gagged in this business. This tells the
whole story. 1t must be evident from
the foregoing statement that the in
be for a long time to come infinitely
more than "A per cent. What is the
answer?
I'VE cannot, having in mind a rea-
sonable margin of profit for the Nash
Motors company, reduce the price of
our product without resorting to a
business policy tina, would be danger
Gus and one that would discredit orr

lie. whose confidence must constitute
our principal asset.

will. be made from time to time, but
the policy of the Nash Motors com
pany will be to absolutely maintain its
present prices to at least July i, 1921.
This does not imply that there will be
a reduction at that time, as, viewing

Leroy w. Campbell, vice president OF
the City Bank & Trust company, of
Hartford. Conn.,, addressed the Boston
automobile dealers on the eve of the
recent Boston show. He predicted a
return of business this year and told
the dealers that their success as auto
motive merchandisers depended solely
upon the amount of effort and the kind
of policies they employed. The Mich
igan AutOmotive Tradesman' quotes
him at length on the used car problems
and in part he said of the exchanged
ar:
There is one division in particular
that / want to emphasize in a friendly,
still emphatic way, and that is the tax
ing in of used cars in trade. This
feature has perhaps materially les
dealers by the banks throughout the
country. There seems to be a mistak-
en- idea that old cars can be taken in
at a very liberal price, when making
the sale Of a new car, and that the loss
can be absorbed by increasing the vol
Iume of sales of new cars. But the
joker has been that in reconditioning
these cars that have been taken in
the expense has been way in excess of
the profit ~Obtainable in the sale of a
new car.
1T is a false premise to think that
the average person who buys an auto
mobile believes that he is getting a
good trade by turning in a car that has
a value of $50 and who prevails upon
the dealer to allow him $50 or 500.
First of all, the buyer of the thinking
type realizes that nobody has beer able
to change the basic fact that you can
not get something for nothing, and even
if a man is successful in slipping over
a trade of this kind with the dealer, he
is the type that will try the same thing
over with any other make of car, when
he again feels that he would like to get
a new car in exchange for an old one.
This brings out two facts. First,
that unless the car is taken in with
due allowance for what it can actu-
ally be sold at, the transaction repre-
sents an absolute loss to the dealer.
Secondly, nc gain in a new customer of
value, with these very illuminating facts
from o banks standpoint.
"Thirty-one thousand automobile
dealers went out of business either
voluntarily or Involuntary with a loss
of $233, 900, 1000 iasr year because of the
lack of careful figuring when allowing

the future as / see it now, any reduc-
ton then would depend entirely on any
reduction in the cost of materials and
labor at that time. This statement
does not obtain against any increase in
the price Of our product.
I'm conclusion, we justly claim the
proud distinction that our factory is
running full time with full production
and we are finding a ready market for
our product, which furnishes us sub
stantial evidence that we enjoy that
full measure of confidence on the part
of the public that is So necessary to
the successful prosecution of our bust
ness and the realization of our ideals"

According to figures appearing In a

Bow of Twelve Makes
Vest Pocket Set Good
for 30 Miles Radius

A boy of twelve. Kenneth r. Hin
man of Plainfield, \. j., has invented
a wireless receiving set which can be
carried in ones vest pocket or in a
good sized pocketbooK, and on which
he can pick up messages from a dis
lance of thirty miles or more.
NJ. Tevis, describing this unusual
wireless set in the May st. Nicholas,
y
"Onc Of the striking features of the
apparatus is its simplicity and the
everyday character of the materials
employed in it. For instance, the ground
connection and the aerisl are each COM
posed of ordinary small wire ending in
a letter clip and insulated by means
of rubber tubing just large enough to
be slipped over the wire.
Kenneth is now thirteen years old,
but he was only twelve when his in
~vention was made. He happened to see
a prize offered for such a device. and
at once set his wits to work to try to
win it. While he did not finish it in
time to enter the competition which
inspired it, he has since won with it
a prize of a silver cup offered in an
other contest. | asked him to give me
an account of it in his own words for
the readers of st. Nicholas, and this is
what he has to say:
THE set is not necessarily. as it
is thought, the size of a matchbox.
/ do not claim it to be the smallest.
although / do claim it TO be the most
compact wireless set, so far invented,
in the world. The human hand can be
made no smaller than it is; SO why
make the set smaller than could be
handled or operated. If
it was made lighter. it would no longer
be a practical, simple. and easily
set, but a novelty of no great
value. 1t requires Nc upkeep, and actu-
ally receives by radiophone, opera
selections. concerts, weather reports,
bedtime stories, etc, within a radius
of about thirty miles, and ardio-tele-
graph a much greater distance"

for MANY Dealer Failures

flor old cars, lack of courage in trading
and lack of selling ability. These fig
ures to a bank act as a stop sign in
considering it's automobile accounts, and
the lines of credit that will be extend
ed to the dealers will be predicated to
a considerable extent on the basis of
their selling policy, as it applies to the
taking in of old cars in exchange for

radio outfit which has been receiving
concerts each evening in the Overland
branch salesrooms, happened to be
tuned in with the Duck station.
Learning that the Overland receiver
was working, Thorpe told Nachtrab to
listen closely. Nachtrab's name was
called over the wireless set. Instruc-
tons followed for the delivery of the

knowledge that he has been the first

CHINESE NOW BUY CARS

Reporting on the recent automobile

Firestone representative states it as
his opinion that sales at the show
amounted to about $4,000 and that
at least IS per cent of the motor
vehicles now used in China are Amer
lean manufacture, the ratio of tires be-
ing about the same. The registration
is approximately 5000, which is very
