SHAPIRO A D D s.
CHICAGO MAN

News of interest to local real
estate circles will be the announce
ment of the addition of William III.
Eyer, formerly of Chicago, TO the
executive personnel of the Joseph
Shapiro Company. realtors.
In making the move to Washing
ton, Mr.. Eger sewers connection
with the H.. Wallace Caldwell Realty
Company, one OF Chicago's largest
and most successful real estate opera
tors. where he was general sales
manager for number of years.
Mr.. J.. IS. Shapiro points out that
Mr.. Eger's connection with his
organization is not to. be regarded
as a change in the company's pres
ent sales policy, but is rather a
logical and necessary development
in view of the company's growth
to date and it's contemplated pro-
gram OF expansion for the future.
Mr.. Shapiro feels that his company's
business has now reached the point
where the addition of a. man of Mr..
Eger's broad experience is but
justified and imperative.
Such a move speaks well for the
progress the Shapiro organi-
zation has already made, as well as
for their confidence in the future
growth OF Washington. Those who
are familiar with the records Of local
real estate companies will recall
that not so many years ago the Jo-
sepn Shapiro Company was a new
conner in the field. In fact, Mr..
Shapiro has often been referred to
by the real estate fraternity as the
youngest builder in town." That
in the space OF few short years he
has likewise achieved a. position
among the city's largest and most
successful builders speaks well, in
deed, for his perseverance, ability
and business policies.
1t is even probable that a census
of the most progressive and success
full builders elsewhere would reveal
that Washington's youngest is also
one of. the country's youngest.
Now, with the addition OF Mr..
Eyer, who win assume active charge
of large and aggressive sales pro-
gram, 1t is expected that the Shapiro
organization will make even greater
strides in the future. Mr.. Eyer was
selected for this important work be-
cause of a very unusual record with
the firm he represented in Chicago.
There he had entire charge Of a
sales organization which numbered
from 80 to 200 men. with annual
sales running into many millions OF
dollars. 1t is interesting, too, that
a man OF his accomplishments and
capabilities should see here in the
washington real estate situation op-
portunities SURPRISING even those of
Chicago, which is known to be one
Of the fastest growing centers OF the
West today.
Although Mr.. Eyer actively as
sumed the duties of his present
position only last Monday, he has
already laid the ground work for
an immediate enlargement Of the
present Shapiro sales force. This
he considers very necessary in order
to keep pace with the activities of
the building department, which Las
recently completed several large
projects and has Others well under
way.
In commenting on his work with
the II. Wallace Caldwell Realty
Company, whose sales under his
direction grew to very large pro-
portions even for a Chicago Com.
pany, Mr.. Eyer attributes his sue
cess entirely to his ability 10 Sc.
cure the whole.hearted and en-.
thusiastic cooperation of the men
associated with him. Primarily, of
course, Mr.. Eyer is an organizer
and executive. Just what methods
he will use here in expanding and
training the sales organiza ton OF
the Joseph Shapiro Company is not
known at this time, but he has re.
peatedly emphasized that in com.
parison with other growing centers,
the Washington real estate situa.
tion offers men of good sales quail.
fications opportunities that would
be difficult to match anywhere IN
the country.
