This message comes from the Ma

realtors of the United States.
Just how a real estate board ex-

told by Louis r. Tending in a re-

lowing Is an extract:
Duties Of Realtors.
The first and most important
duty for the realtor Is to gain the
confidence of people in the COM
munity and to earn the reputation
of doing things worth while and
not fostering or starting any propa-

A realtor can naturally be of

Of endeavor. matters pertaining to

work of a realtor. IT Is he who
usually meets the newcomer in the
COMMUNITY: who usually places be-

his city: who usually has the task
of selling the city to the newcomer

the realtor be thoroughly Informed
and have accurate statistics and
figures of his city. so that he can

The housing problem is another
great work for the realtor. What
greater service could he render
community than encouraging and
pounding home the great duty every
man owes his family-'owning his

not fear the future. for where you
have home owners you have per-
