REAL TORS Plan.
AD STUDY

In order TO bring the real estate
advertising Of Washington to its
highest plane of efficiency and reli.
ability. the sales managers division
of the Washington Real Estate
Board, under the Craftsmanship of
c. H, Hillegeist, is making a thor
ough study Of the subject. The d.
vision Is Inviting advertising experts
to discuss the various phases of this
Important feature of the real estate
business at its semi.monthly lunch.
con.
The division is studying, according
to Mr.. Hillegelst. not only the ques-
ton of advertising to bring about
immediate sales, but also that kind
of advertising which will build in
the general public thorough con-
fidence in the firms and their per-
sonnet and the products being
brought to their attention.
The division holds that the general
real estate advertising in Wash
ington is on high plane. and that
very little is needed to make 1t the
most exemplary in the country, par
ticularly from the point of view of
effectiveness and art.
At the meeting last Tuesday at
the Hamilton Hotel, George A.
Lewis, local advertising expert. ad.
dressed the division
Mr.. Lewis analysed advertising
from its various points of interest,
and particularly stressed the need OF
intelligent advertising with the de-
scription and information given in
such a manner as to arouse the
imagination and curiosity Of the pub
lie, thereby letting them seek fur
Their information. He stressed the
necessity of the sales manager Civ.
ing serious thought to the proper
utilization of advertising space. He
said that 1t is necessary in adv0rtis-
ing in a general blank formula sort
of way to SO arrange that each prop
erty or group Is thoroughly shown
to the general public.
He complimented the board on the
way its members followed the gen.
eraI code OF ethics, and gave full at
,tention to justice to the public in
their advertising. He stressed that
this should be carried to the very
highest peak so that prospective pur-
chasers would feel confident after
having read advertisements in the
product and the firm named therein.
Following Mr.. Lewis talk. the
matter Of signs and other questions
wero taken up by the division.
At the next meeting of the divis-
ion, March 20, Bates Warren, of the
board, will address the group on the
relation of sales, one with the other.

Inc answer -, Buy because OF
the economy, the comfort, and, in
most instances. the better living
conditions" The cooperative apart
ment development is economically
sound and its growth has been
phenomenally accelerated with re-
suits that make for its permanence.
Less Costly
It is, OF course, less costly to live
In a cooperative" building when
Is one-half or more OF the total
monthly payment made on the
purchase Of an apartment. Fully
95 per cent of the people have a
real desire to own their homes. but
the wage conditions peculiar to
Washington do not always permit
the individual to buy the kind Of
home he desires because he cannot
afford it. BY combining resources.
a group can afford to buy what one
of them could not even begin to
finance without difficulty.
The comfort of living in CO.
operative apartment cannot be over
estimated. The apartment dweller
has the advantage of constant,
ample heat without the bother OF
tending furnace, shovelling coal and
ashes. He has well kept lawns
without hot weather moving, and
sidewalks cleared OF snow without
backbreaking effort. Vacations are
simply arranged for the coop
erative apartment resident: his
property IL cared for without wor-
risome details of any kind. When
he decides to go, his apartment is
locked up and he does not have to
think of draining water systems in
winter under penalty of coming
back to cold house with burst
plumbing. Then, too, all details
such az paying taxes. renewing in
surance and having the outside Of
his building attended to Is auto
matica1ly cared for.
Community Life
Community life in cooperative
apartment develops as the owners
become acquainted with their neigh
Dor owners. A responsible selling
agent has real restrictions that
brings together persons Of like
standing and interests so that they
have fundamental meeting ground
in the problems of home ownership.
There are recorded many success
ful business and social contacts
formed and developed among Co
operative" owners who otherwise
would not have met.
Since there seems to be every
economic reason why one should buy
y cooperative apartment, the next
consideration is what to buy. Apart
ments differ as much as any other
commodity, and each building
must be considered as special proc,
lem in investment. First select the
| location and type of apartment that
comes nearest to your individual
needs and desires.
The building should be in a good
residential section, convenient to
transportation facilities, where prop
erty values are fixed or advancing
Some credit must be given to the ex-
pertenced builder for his selection Of
! sta since he wants to sell the
building az soon az he can, but be
Aure that his experience warrants his
choice Of D site.

u. S. Moves to Keep
doc" Cook in Prison

The Federal Government moved
anew today to keep DIR. Frederick
A. Cook, the psuedo-explorer, be-
hind the bars.
Orders were telegraphed to the
district attorney at Fort Worth.
Tex, to apply to Federal Judge
Wilson for an order suspending the
order which granted Cook his lib
erty on probation.
The Department Of Justice an
nounced this step as preliminary to
a test of Wilson's power to grant
probation. Heretofore, the depart.
ment has interpreted the probation
law as applicable only to prisoners
sentenced but not actually serving
time for their offenses.
Meanwhile, the warden at Leav-
enworth prison has been instructed
not TO release Cook until receipt
of positive orders from Washington.

any property in the city proper will
steadily increase in land value, but
discretion must be used as to the
future desirability for residence use.
Weigh carefully the financing Of
the building. This Is a most impor-
tant feature.
The practice in Washington Is TO
borrow on a first trust or mortgage
about SO per cent of the market
value of the completed building.
When that is done and the money
borrowed from a reliable, financially
sound concern. there should be no
trouble about refinancing. Consider
carefully this question of reliability.
for, although builder may have the
most honorable intentions about as
sisting in refinancing. the business
world often penalties moves due to
unripe experience.
Price Considered
The price Of the entire building as
well as the price Of the individual
apartment should be carefully con.
sidered. Any builder is entitled to a
fair profit, to which no sensible per
son will object. but he Is not entitled
to huge profit. While 1t is true
the average layman Is not competent
to appraise an apartment building a
careful study of figures relating to
the building probably would indicate
whether excessive organization and
sales expense as well as exorbitant
carrying charges until the entire
building has been completely sold.
have been added. The plan of organ.
ization should be legally sound, con
form to the standard adopted by the
National Association OF Real F.stat e
Boards and be so drawn that each In
dividual receives the maximum con-
sideration.
