! SIGNIFICANCE

on Higher Standards Of
Business Ethics.

The title ''realtor, which was un.
known fe wyears ago, according to
John A. Petty, executive secretary
OF the Washington Real Estate
Board. II fast being recognized
throughout the country to mean
much more than the designation Of
real estate agent. 1t is the spe.
cial title reserved for the use OF
members Of real estate boards af.
riliated with the National Associa.

Being a coined word officially
adopted by the national association,
the right to its use Is restricted to
members only, This right has been
upheld by a Minnesota court. Fol-
lowing this test case, local boards
In every city have persistently
guarded the title and will not per.
init Its use except among members.
This alertness on the part of real
estate boards is urged by the nation

tire support behind all local boards
In their efforts to protect their rights.
AS a result of this activity. 1t is
now seldom that anyone attempts
20 use realtor unless authorized.
Title Means Something.
Real estate boards, through their
Progressive and constructive aetiv-
tiles, have given to this special title
q significance that justifies the ef-
forts made to protect 1t. Through
close cooperation and intensive in
vestigation by experts from all parts
OF the country, and In all branches
or the business, 1t has been possible
70 standardize the methods and prac.
tices used in everyday transactions.
In this Standardization definite prin-
ciples Of ethical relations between
brokers' and between brokers and
the public have been evolved. These
principles have been codified and Of
ficially adopted by all real estate
boards affiliated with the national
association. The individual mem.
bers. by reason of their membership,
are obligated to abide by these prin-
ciples, which are applicable in all
sections. Fundamentally they have
as their purpose the development Of
