IS
SERVICE TO PUBLIC
Says Agents Must Realize
That Harmony Means
Success.

The successful sales manager
the great truth that craftsmanship
Is service, but he must be ever and
always mindful of the fact of that
old adage, In union there is
strength and that strength is
much more manifest II each unit in
that union is doing. to the best Of
his ability, his duty. as he sees It
plainly before him." says an expert
in the National Real Estate Journal.
Each salesman must realize that
there must be absolute harmony, a
unanimity OF purpose, a pulling to-
gether, with an eye single to that
one goal-more service. with the
infallible result, more sales, there
fore more pront.
The whole trend of our modern
industrial and social life is guided
by this truth: that no single brill
liant individual. and no collection
of brilliant individuals can COM
pete with a body of men, whether
brilliant or merely average. that is
well organized and works as a
unit
IF this ideal sales organization,
then, is to become a reality, there
Is one principle that must stand out
above everything else, and that is
loyalty: and the greatest factor in
the development of loyalty is hu-
man sympathy.
Mistakes, misunderstandinga
misconceptions are legion, we will
all agree: but we can overcome
to a certain extent these attendant
trials II we will remember that
loyalty Is strictly reciprocal-that
we must strive always to give, and
as freely to expect. the fair deal.
When mankind grows more into
the full realization OF the meaning
of the Golden Rule. then many of
our vexatious problems of today
will have proved only stumbling
blocks to new and better things
Turning from the somewhat the
oretical side of this subject, let us
see what are some of the practical
steps necessary in order to estab-
lish our ideal sales organization.
The success OF the salesman may
not depend upon the success of the
sales manager but the success of
the sales manager most surely de-
Ponds upon the success Of his sales
men.
Assuming then. that the sales
manager is the right man for the
place. well versed in the quality OF
his goods and the ability Of his
men. he should by all means, es-
tablish standards for himself and
his rren-and nv standard. mean,
what could and ought to be. It Is
not wish. not a hope. but the es-
tablishment OF specific purpose
for thing or act. They should
each then stick to those standards
by cultivating invincible determin-
atfon-a purpose once fixed. and
then-death or victory.''-National

CHICAGO HOUSING
MUCH IMPROVED
U. S. Census Shows That
1886 Houses Are
Owned There.

According to preliminary re-
mort made public by the Depart
ment Of Commerce, Bureau OF the
Census. the number of homes IN
Chicago. as enumerated in January.
1920, was 62S.910. of which les, $3.50
or 266 per cent, were owned by
the occupants. and 447,405, or III
per cent, were rented: for the re-
naming 1858 the facts as to ten
ure were not reported, or the
owned homes, $3.50, or 35.2 per
cent, were free from encumbrance
and 102,71s, or SIS per cent, were
mortgaged; for the remaining 4,I6o
no information as to mortgage in
debtedness was secured.
The Bureau Of the Census secured
reports regarding the value of the
home, the amount OF the encum-
brance. and the rate of interest
from 76,573, or 74.5 per cent, OF the
1O2.719 mortgaged homes enumer-
ated in the census. The average
market value of the mortgaged
homes was S6,460, and the average
mortgage was $2.734. Assuming
that the average value and the av-
erage mortgage debt for the homes
not reporting was the same as for
those for which reports were Sc
cured, the total market value of all
mortgaged homes in Chicago is es-
timated at 1864, 100000 and the total
mortgage debt is estimated ats2S1.
900. 900.
The prevailing rate OF interest
was per cent. this being the rate
reported for S3.9 per cent of the
total number of homes reported as
mortgaged and s1.6 per cent of the
total amount OF mortgage indebt-
edness. Five and one-half per cent
was the rate on 9.6 per cent Of the
total number and per cent was
the rate on 81 per cent OF the to-
tai number of mortgaged homes re-
porting. From per cent to and
including per cent, formed 9S.7
per cent of the number of homes
reporting the rate of encumbrance
on their mortgage debt. For the
remaining Indebtedness other rates
were reported. ranging from less
than per cent to more than 8 per
cent The average rate on all
mortgages was SO per cent.
OF the 76,573 mortgaged homes
concerning which information was
secured 5000. or 81 per cent. were
valued at less than $4,000; 30,127.
or 1913 per cent, at $4,000 to $4,000;
22,100. or 2s.s per cent, at $1,000 to
$1,000; s,444, or 1913 per cent, at
$500 to $4,000; 5,721. or rs per
cent, at $4,000 to $4,000: and 1859,
or 6.3 per cent, at $4,000 and over.
OF the latter number 1905, or IT
per cent at $4,000 and over. OF
the latter number 1908, or IT per
cent, were valued at $35,oo0 and
over.
As a rule, the greater the value
of the home. the smaller the pro-
portion which the encumbrance
represents of the total market
value. this proportion ranging from
3s.S per cent for homes valued at
$4,000 to 100000 each to 500 per
cent for those valued at less than
$4,000. On homes valued at
amounts of more than $4,000 the
encumbrance amounted to s22,466,-
100. forming 41.s per cent of the
market value on January /, 1920.
