In a. lecture delivered to the realty
lass at the 7. NJ. G. A. last Monday,
Under the auspices Of the Washington
Real Estate Board, Irving B. New
.omb discussed the various forms or
.dvertising as they affect the sale or
entail of real estate.
MIR. Newcomb stressed the point that
cal estate advertising is not intended
. actually makes sales, but Is rather
intended to produce inquiries or visits
which statesmen can crystalline into
sales. He covered the subject in de-
tail.
The lecturer touched on the sig
nificance of general or institutional
advertising and pointed out that the
results therefrom were intangible but
extremely beneficial over a given Pc
riod of time. He differentiated this
clearly from specific advertising, the
latter being calculated to bring in
quiries on definite current properties.
Functions of Advertising.
The respective functions of display
and classified advertising were gone
into, the former creating a desire as
we'll as particularizing a given prop
erty, and the latter being in the ma
ture Of a directory or catalog for those
already seeking realty.
Mr.. Newcomb explained the advisa-
bility of making display advertise
ments interesting and easily read,
stressing particularly the Importance
of good headings, attractive grouping

Object Often Is to Produce Inquiries
Which May Be Developed Into
Sales, Says Newcomb.

Of the matter in the space. the neces-
sity of leaving sufficient free space to
set off the matter presented in the ad-
vertisement. He exemplifled the func-
ton of the layout to assure reproduc-
ton in the newspapers of the exact
effect desired, and mentioned the de-
STABILITY of indicating particular
styles of types preferred.
Advertising In special publications,
such as theater programs, class perl
odicals, etc, was discussed. with the
explanation that such media should
be- employed where the properties In
question held an appropriate appeal to
q specific class Of people.
Pamphlets Are Described.
1t was brought out that pamphlets
and folders were justified where a Sec
tional development or a large building
was involved, the sale of which nee
essarily would cover a considerable
period of time. Where such printed
matter was to be sent out in quest or
prospective purchasers, it was urged
that it be extremely brief, attractive
and quickly readable.
On the other hand, where such
booklets or folders were distributed in
response to definite inquiries from
people already interested, or where
they were to be given out by statesmen
or representatives for the further
study of prospects, to whom they had
already talked, it was explained that
full details were highly desirable. In

listed with any real estate office. An
attractive, easily read, distinctive
sign, placed to advantage and par
ticularly on properties along the main
travelled routes, was said to be pro-
1uctive of numerous inquiries.
The distribution of advertising nov
cities was spoken of as of question

special occasions or where peculiarly
appropriate to the organization or Its
current property offerings. Use Of
pertinent, well-thought-out slogan or
symbol was emphasized as contribut-
ing materially to lasting profit from

was epitomized in the slogan selected.

CITE UPWARD TENDENCY
OF WAGE RATES IN CITIES

The upward tendency Of wage rates
In many of the larger cities of the
country this year has had the effect
Of still further increasing the wide
difference between labor costs and
material costs In construction.
From q report OF the National AS
ISOLATION Of Building Trades employ
ers It Is shown that the general trend
Of material costs has been downward
since the middle OF 1920. Except for
q slight recession beginning In 1921
and continuing into 1929. the general
trend Of labor costs has been upward.
Taking January. 1928. as 100 for
the starting point. the cost Of labor
stood at 119 In July OF last year.
During July Of this year Il had
reached l23.S. showing an increase OF
about 6 per cent In II months.
Building material costs declined to

these latter instances the recipients OF
the material are obviously in mood
to desire all the information procur-
able on the subject.
The use Of direct personal letters
was spoken Of by Mr.. Newcomb as hav-
ing. definite place in real estate ad-
vertising. It was pointed out that.
especially In the busy season. there
are many names of prospects that
seem less worth following up than
others, but which can be covered to
advantage by carefully planned
series of pertinent sales letters. Such
a series should present the salient fea-
lures of the property in question, so
that the most important points come
last, with a final urge to definite ac-
ton.
Emphasizing Other Services.
