Record for Weekly Home Building in 1924 Despite Fiesta
RCHEY AND CASEY'S
FIESTA WEEK SALES
INVOLVE $56,624
Fiesta Week Good as Any
Time for Trading, Says
F. B. Scott.

Fiesta week is as good a time as
any for selling real estate, according
to Frank b. Scott, salesmanager for
Richey & Casey. His report for last
week includes six sales, considerations
of which total S56,624.O0.
There is an erroneous belief on the
part of some" Mr.. Scott says. that
little real estate is sold during holi-
day seasons. Likewise. there is a
tendency on the part of some real es-
tate statesmen, much to their detri-
ment, TO let up in their selling ac-
tiyities during these periods. Natur-
ally, it follows, that at such times
they sell little.
"The negative suggestion that they
plant in their own minds is the OBJ
stacle which they cannot overcome.
1t is not denied that holiday seasons
increase the resistance to real estate
selling.
"But those who think that it has a
great effect. certainly have not studied
carefully the nature of a real estate
sale. nor the character of the motives
that lie behind it.
"To the average man. buying a
piece of real estate, whether for home
or investment, is an act of consider
able moment. The motives that are
| in support are so deep rooted and SO
lasting, that the forward movement
of real estate sale is not disturbed
by exterior influences nearly so much
as are sales of less important com.
modities. The decision to buy may bs
from a gradual process or from @
quick process. The elimination may
come at any time. The buyer will
generally buy at the time he finds
what he wants at the price he want:
to pay"
Among the sales reported were the
following: G. II. RAYMOND to w. A

EXPECT 1000 SAN ANTONIO
YARDS TO BE ENTERED in
ANNUAL, CONTEST BY JUNE
San Antonio Real Estate Board to Sponsor Its
Eleventh Annual Beautiful Yards Contest-Sev-
eral Hundred Dollars in Cash to Be Awarded
in Prizes-Civic Clubs to Give Cups
and Yard Implements.

In grading the yards this year
judges will be exceedingly strict and
every detail will be taken into careful
consideration. General appearance OF
a city home yard will count 80 per
cent and six other items will count
ten each.
Variety Raises Score.
Variety in arrangement and growth
in yard will tend TO raise the total
score. In prior contests many of the
contestants did not receive prizes due
to the fact that no trees had been
planted in the yard. Others had COM
plete flower gardens in their front
yards with hardly any lawn. But still
these losers had beautiful yards.
A perfect yard, according to the
way judges decided last year and
which probably will be the method
pursued this year, has the following
Lawn, sidewalks. trees, shrubs, flow
ers. curbs and an attractive general
appearance. N'f'
This applies to the city home yard
as well as to that OF the country
home. General appearance will count
80 per cent of the total score for a
country home yard.

The San Antonio Real Estate Board
is planning to put on and back up q
"Clean Up and Paint Up Week" some
time soon. The city will be asked to
aid, The object of "Clean Up and
Paint Up Week" will be to make San

about a process of identifying all, or
as many as possible, Of the ram

city.
To advertise this campaign, it is
planned to take a picture of some dis
reputable, abandoned house, before !,

penters, to show what can be accom-
plished by such laborers in shorl
time and with a comparatively small
outlay of money. in the way of chang
ing an untenable house into a beau
tiful and attractive home.
All IS of the members of the Real
Estate Board who were present nj

noon, were heartily in favor of this
plan as suggested by Wallace Rogers
and Fl. c. Thorman.
"When one man in neighborhood
starts cleaning IN and painting his
house, the neighbors will do likewise
It's catching. and 1 suggest that ii
there is someone who wants to beau
tify his home. but has not the ready
money on hand that is necessary. that
we arrange it so that this person can
have the needed amount advanced to
him to be repaid in small monthly
payments" said III. c. Thorman
home builder.
Members of the committee are Wal
lace Rogers. j. d. Flannery, A. D.
Lowe and J. Gregory.
The object of "Paint Up and Clean
Up Week" will be to beautify San

houses; and to fill up the houses that
are at present untenable due to ex
terror appearances. by cleaning uI
and identifying those houses to make
them attractive.
"With the cooperation of the paint
and lumber dealers. and with thu
sanction of the mayor and other city
officials. we should be able TO make

LOCAL BUILDING
AND LOANS TO GET
HELP OF INSTITUTE
American Savings, Build
ing and Loan Institute
Promotes Welfare.

The rapid growth of building and
United States and their Importance
as national movement are evidenced
by the establishment of the American
Savings. Building and Loan Institute.
This institute is to building and loan
association work as the American In
stitute of Banking is to the banking
interests of the country and it is Or
ganized' along similar lines.
The purpose of the institute is to
study the problems and promote the
welfare of local associations and
through them those lines of business
which profit directly from home build
ing, home furnishing and home main
tenance.
Comprehensive courses of study for
local chapters of the institute have
been compiled. Text books giving a
complete survey of the development of
building and loan associations over
a period of 80 years have been writ
ten for use in colleges and UNIVERSE
ties where courses in practical
economics are offered.
The result of this work will extend
the knowledge of true building ant
loan principles, increase the useful
ness of existing associations and aid in
the establishment of substantial as
sociations wherever needed, and by
training efficient officers and en-
r!oyes will coordinate the best eff
forts of thousands of loyal workers
who desire the maximum development
of homecoming through systematic
saving.
Headquarters of the institute are
maintained at Kansas City, with
Frank a Chase at the head as edu-
cational director. The committee on
research work. appointed at the last
national meeting of the United states
League of Building and Loan Asso-
Citations. includes: DIR. Richard L.
Ely, professor of economics at the
University of Wisconsin: Franklin r.
Stevens. of Kansas City; Ward Il.
Whitlock. of Illinois. and r. Holtby
Myers, of Los Angeles.
The three building and loan associa-
tions Of San Antonio. the Mutual De-
post and Loan Association. the Sc
curity Building and Loan Association
and the San Antonio Building and
Loan Association. are entitued TO the
service of the institute through their
membership in the Texas League.
which is affiliated with the United
States League of Building and Loan
Associations.

The Grove Avenue Church OF
Christ has built new structure on
Grove avenue at cost of S10,OOO.
This is one of the most recent COM
pletions.
st. Johns Episcopal congregation
is planning to build an $4,000 edifice
at the corner of blackberry and Bur-
net streets. The site has been &C.
quired aud members of the building
committee say they expect that work
will begin at once.
Several churches are contemplating
additions to their present buildings
so it is safe to say that church con-
struction is planned, under way or
completed in practically every section
of San Antonio.
From a real estate standpoint there
are two things that this unusually
large amount of church construction
indicates. They are enhancement OF
real estate values and increased pros
perity. 1t is an obvious fact that
church construction enhances proper
ty values. Church builders are city
builders. A fine edifice is a drawing
card in its neighborhood-an excel
lent selling pointer for the real estate
man, and consequently a home en-
courager.
