USE or WORD "REALTOR"
PROVES BUSINESS FULLER

An instance Of how it pays to use
the word "realtor' on office front,
stationery and advertising, comes
to the National Association Of Real
Estate Boards from Atlantic City.
Bernard Dever, of the Atlantic
City board, put his sign, using the
title "realtor," in .store window
twenty blocks from his office. The
same store window held, too, a
much larger sign Of another board
member whose office was less than
three hundred feet away. But
realtor number two had not en-
ployed his privilege to use the
term that would tell the world in
one word where he stood.
A nationally operating tea COM
pany neighboring that store window
needed to lease space, and came to
Dever to arrange it. And when
he asked them why they had come
so far, with another broker in their
very block, they told him that
they had noticed his sign, and the
other mans; and that they had
found that to deal with realtor
in any community guaranteed a
square and businesslike transac-
ton.

ANALYSIS
Accurate Picture of All Phases
of Situation in Canada and
U. S. Drawn by Survey.

An accurate and comprehensive
picture of real estate and build
ing conditions all over the United
States and Canada, and indica-
tions of tendencies for the inn
mediate future, will be made
available through a survey now
being made by the National As
ISOLATION of Real Estate Boards.
Results of this survey, which
will take the pulse of the nous
ing, building, and market con.
dstions in the ATS American and
Canadian cities in which the assoc1a-
ton has member boards, will be
tabulated and analysed by expert
statisticians and presented to real.
tors as a graphic fact-basis for dis
cussions at the annual convention
of the association in Cleveland,
July q to 80.
Present overbuilding If 1t exists,
housing shortage, decided move
ments in suburban building, build
ing permit totals, rental tendencies,
market conditions for. residential
and business propertiess labor mar
ket for building, mortgage money
supply and interest rates are the
matters covered In the question
naires for each locality which are
expected to furnish a business cor
puscle count and blood pressure
test for real estate nationally.
Melvin l.. Morse. of Babson's Sta
tistical Organization, which will
make the analysis of the findings,
will talk on the opening morning of
the convention, presenting the re-
suits of the survey, and illustrating
the findings with charts correlating
the information so secured with
other significant data which Bah
sons have in the general business
and financial field. Findings of the
survey, which follows a similar one
made by the association in Novem-

section.
