friends MOURN
ZANTZ FINGER

The sudden death Of o. b.
Zantzinger. in st. Augustine, Fla,
was a great shock to his many
friends and associates in real estate
circles. His personal friends on the
washington Real Estate Board, OF
which he was an active member,
highly praised Mr.. Zantzinger for his
constructive development, especially
in the suburban areas around Wash
ington and give him large credit for
the tremendous extension Of home
communities in cetain sections ada
cent to the District Line.
At the meeting of the washington
Real Estate Board, April is, upon
motion of John L. Weaver. past
president OF both the local board and
the National Association Of Real
Estate Boards, the following resolu-
tions were adopted:
Whereas, the members of the
Washington Real Estate Board. in
meeting assembled, April IL, 1928,
have learned with deep sense of
regret OF the death of O. B. zantzin-
ger, late member of this Organiza-
.tion. and
whereas. for the past 25 years he
has been actively engaged in the pro-
fession of real estate and, due to his
broad-gauged vision. honesty of pur-
pose and intelligent effort. not only
achieved signal success in his bust
ness, but materially aided in the up
building and development of the Ma
tional Capital and its envirnos. and
whereas, his genial disposition
and splendid personality endeared
him to the members Of this board
and all those with whom he came in
contact, and
Whereas. his passing is a distinct
loss to the real estate profession and
the National Capital.
"Now, therefore, he 1t resolved.
That the members of this board here
by formally express their deep sor-
row and genuine regret over the loss
of friend and an associate, and
BE it further resolved. That these
resolutions be spread upon the min
utes of this meeting and suitable
copy be forwarded to the family OF
the decea sed,"
The Washington times., 1928-04-21

Hundreds of families have ac-
olIired comfortable, beautiful and
valuable property by starting with
basement and central unit con-
tanning the bare essentials OF room,
adding a dining room wing with ex.
ira bedroom later and screened in
porch, sleeping porches, sun parlor.
and other secondary accommoda-
tions still later.
This same principle can be applied
to the bathroom, where ii, il neces-
sary. But as in the case or unit
construction Of the house, a well
defined plan must be followed and
the vital essentials must come first,
so in building a complete modern
bath on this plan it is necessary to
install the basic piping for all
equipment at the outset.
Plumbing and Heating
Al skillfnl plumbing and heating
contractor is the one to advise az TO
what these fundamental require
ments are and how they may be
adapted to provide additional ac-
Communications.
Tub, closet and lavatory are the
accessories that must be installed at
once. II proper pine connections and
outlets, including 4" stock,
are allowed for at this time, new
and finer fawcets, shower with
shield or other Enclosures, q bidet
which requires A. stock and out
LET through the floor, dental lava
tory, dressing table, towel warmer
and many other cOnveniences which
the plumbing industry offers may be
Installed at some later time.
On the same principle it is the part
of wisdom to lead piping into one
of more closets on the first and Sec
ond floors in addition to the main
hath room
This. then, will permit adapting
the small rooms later to form extra
baths or convenient Iavatories or
broom and mop. closets with sinks.

At the meeting of the washington
Real Estate Board held this past
tweek Eat Wardman Park Hotel,
ECharles Ct. Edwards, OF Mex York
trity, past president of the Real
Estate Board OF New York and also
past president OF the National Assoc
Iciation OF Real Estate Boards, dis
eussed the subject of Creative Sales
bnanship."
In the course of his address Mr..
Edwards described an original idea
(which he conceived and has been
promoting for many years in New
York city and other large centers.
The plan under which he operates
involves the acquisition of sites in
strategic locations and the erection
thereon of specially designed build
lngs to meet the needs of specific
groups.
He stressed the point that the
! tendency in modern business IS TO
hentraIize individual lines in concen-
arated areas, illustrating that this has
been demonstrated by various groups
such as dry goods industries, coffee
dealers, manufacturers, jewelers.,
sRtc.
Locations the Thing
4. 5
This modern tendency has brought
about specific need in certain loca-
afong for the erection of improve
nents suitable for these various
types of industry to replace the
many obsolete buildings which in
sufficiently serve the highly special
azed development of group interests.
In outlining the details of opera
Eion Mr.. Edwards pointed out that
one OF the fundamental principles
was the selection of the very best
site available, having in mind the
construction OF a building designed
with floor space so arranged to meet
the specific requirements OF par
ticular class of tenants.
When this is accomplished and the
development proposition financed on
q sound basis the selling Of the idea
tn investors is comparatively simple.
This is true he stated. because the
demand for such facilities by the
trade was so definite that perma-
nencv of substantial return on the
investment is assured.
SchicIx Praises Board
At this meeting OF the board,
James r. Schick, who has been ex-
ecutiye secretary for the past two
and one-half years. formally retired.
he having previously accepted the
position Of vice president and gen.
eral manager Of the National Mort
gage and Investment Corporation.
In brief address MFR. Schick out
lined tl1s advantages of board mem-
bership and mplimented the menu
bers on their spirit Of loyalty and
cooperation which had made it pos
sfble for him to successfully develop
the boards activities John A. Petty,
who was recently appointed as sue
cessor to Mr.. Schick, formally took
byer the office at the meeting.
Urges Younger Men
In the absence of w. C.: Miller,
president of the Washington Real
Estate Board, who at present is
abroad, Ben Z. Webster. first vice
president, presided at the meeting.
In the course of the evening Nj.
Webster discussed some basic prin.
EipIes OF realtor activities and laid
specific emphasis on development of
the young men in the profession.
His advice to statesmen was based
On an absolute faith in the future
OF Washington az the Capital of the
Nation and indicated that persistent
and constant work on the part of
upright, honest young men in the
Sreal estate field was certain to be
crowned with success.
