basis.
Preparedness of the realtors for
the opportunities which the new year
brings is shown by the fact that dur
ing the past year the National AS
sociation of Real Estate Boards has
doubled its membership. That means
that America now has 400 boards, To-
Gated in every state in the Union and
six provinces in Canada.
The association during the past
year attained an individual member
ship of 10000.
Realtors' Lesson Learned.
1.-THE realtor has learned his les
son in the school of experience, and
age man has emerged from the
"after -war-boom" period with a keen
realization of the necessity of saw
ing. He will invest his money more
carefully.
Home owning will become more
attractive and investment in real es-
tate more popular. because both
possess the cardinal attraction of de-
pendability.
FINALLY. let me say that the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards is committed this year to a
be of national benefit Its immediate
aims and objects are:
ITO carry on intensive work in
educating the people to the value of
home ownership
ITO give practical aid through
local boards to communities in all
activities that affect city growth and
real estate development, especially in
the way of coming.
ITO standardize methods of con-
Quoting the real estate business.
ITO advocate legislation that will
eliminate tax free securities so that
money, in times of high taxes. will
not be withdrawn from natural chan
nels-an evil that is gravely felt to-
day in the difficulty of negotiating
mortgage loans on real estate"

BIG YEAR
FOR REAL ESTATE
Hiett, Head Of National As
sociation, Sees Dawn Of
New Prosperity.

Irving B. Hiett, president OF the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards, predicts the dawn Of a new
prosperity healthy prosperity that
will develop and improve with the fu-
ture" during the year 1922. He is ex-
pected to amplify his prediction when
he comes to Washington March s to
attend the midwinter meeting of the
executive committee of the national
association.
Mr.. Hiett holds out an optimistic
outlook for real estate in the coming
months in the following statement
prepared by him for publications:
Takes Optimistic View.
Optimism for the future is fully
warranted in the real estate market.
The signs of the times are plain. Dur
ing the cataclysms Of world war and
following that period real estate ac-
tivities were reduced to a minimum
and for four years the need of the ma
ton for home building. city expah-
sion and real estate development has
piled up like waters held by a dam.
The pressure has now reached the
point where the dam must give way.
"The following conditions form a
basis for the optimism of the realtor:
"I) The necessity for building con-
struction In the way of homes. of
stores, hotels and Office buildings is
urgent.
"(2) The money market is easing
and available funds for building pur-
poses are rapidly increasing.
"(3) The material increase in en-
ployment and the corresponding de-
crease in unemployment have greatly
strengthened the buying market.
"() General business activity is on
the upgrade; surplus stocks Of mer-
chandise are little in evidence.
"(6) The normal demand in all lines
has been increased by the fact that
the public has deferred buying.
"(6) The gradual righting of the
worlds war-bred troubles is making
itself felt.
"GD The flow Of gold to this country
has deposited nearly SO per cent Of the
worlds supply in the United States.
"(O The federal reserve banking
system has proven that it has the pow
er to prevent panics. thus insuring
ment.
Market Must Respond.
1.-THE real estate market cannot fail
to respond favorably to these condi-
tions. Real estate men. considering
them in contrast to the experiences
Of the past several months. cannot
fail to be optimistic.
1.-THE year just past has been full
of trouble for the average realtor.
Advertising and overhead expenses
have advanced and business has
grown smaller in volume. Lucky
the realtor who ran through the year
with profit. In the early months Of
the year wages and prices Of ma
terials were dropping so rapidly that
it was impossible to show profit.
and during the last half of the year
the difficulty of financing was great
handicap.
1.-THE entire year in the real estate
business. as in other lines. was one of
reconstruction. Activities of war
time and the period Immediately fol-
lowing caused Decentralization of Of
flee forces. Men were not fitted for
the steady, systematic methods OF
doing business which are essential
under normal conditions. 1t was
necessary that new policies be
adopted.
Progressive realtors studied the
situation carefully and rearranged
their business and budgets accord
ingly. They now have their forces

DESCRIBES REAL
ESTATE INVESTING
Thomas Bradley, Banker,
Gives Address Before Stu
dents in Y. M. c. A. Course.

Various forms Of real estate invest
ments were described to members of
the Y. NJ. c. A. real estate course this
week by Thomas Bradley, local
banker.
In classifying the different invest
ments Mr.. Bradley stated that busi-
ness properties and apartment houses
were considered the highest form Of
investments. Usually business prop
critics produce a net rental In that the
tenant Is responsible for repairs and
carrying charges" said Mr.. Bradley.
Apartment houses. which have in re-
cent years become SO popular, and, in
fact, almost an absolute necessity, de-
veloped a new field for investors.
Farms. generally speaking, are not
considered SO good as an investment
unless located near city. This gives
farm a speculative value because
OF the possibility for subdivision pur-
poses.
LOng-Term Investments.
Acreage or other non-income pro-
vestor of large means who can afford
to wait many years for the realiZa-
ton of profit which comes with the
natural increase in value. Acreage,
however. when taken over by one who
develops 1t into subdivisions with
sold in reasonable time, produces
a fair profit.
There are three distinct classes
that deal in real estate-the investor
Of large means. who is willing to take
his profit in later years; the specu-
lator. who as rule buys for quick
return, and the developer. who pro-
duces subdivisions out of acreage
tracts.
I'm past years small dwellings have
ynr 70 oywI, {-f~
ments. provided proper attention was
given the question of upkeep repairs.
Depreciation in this class Of proper
ty is very extensive where the proper
attention to minor repairs is not
given when the need first arises. The
unusual increase in cost of repairs,
together with certain phases Of re-
strictive rental legislation, has/tend-
ed to destroy somewhat the popu-
larity of this form of investment.
Conditions Always Changing.
'As a city develops. changing con-
ditions in different sections have
very material effect on the value and
desirability of real estate. Where
residential section is gradually alb
sorbed by business encroachment the
time comes when the value OF the
land increases to such point that
the physical value of the improve
ments is absorbed, and it then be-
comes profitable to destroy an other
wise perfectly sound building for the
purpose of constructing building
more in keeping with the changed
conditions. Then, again, sections that
at one time were considered very
high-class residential sections un-
dergo a change in character of oc-
cupancy without the encroachment OF
business. with the result that some
rather expensive residences are found
in sections where the value is far
below the actual physical value OF the
building and reproduction cost"

The Newspaper

There are some people who take
the view that newspaper is a gar
bage bucket into which anything
may be dumped. Mistake No. /.
There are some people who think
that newspaper is published only
to serve their selfish interest and
throw the harpoon into the ,other
fellow. Mistake No. 2. There are
some folks who think that a news
paper should print what is obviously
advertising matter without a single
cent of compensation. Mistake No.
3. There are many other similar
mistakes with regard to the publi-
cation of newspaper, but these will
answer for the moment.
A newspaper is not duly bound to
print anything that it doesn't want
to print. There is no rule that re-
quires it to print something of abso-
lutely no news value just because
somebody wants it printed. 1t is
not obliged to effusively laud some
person where laudation is not earned
nor to lambaste some individual
where adverse criticism is not de-
served. 1t is not printed for the
purpose of satisfying selfish motives
There is not the remotest reason
why it should give away its space to
somebody who is running something
for monetary benefit.
