ties on appraising will direct the
work of the appraisal conferences,
and seven equally well known spe-
cialists will describe the most ef-
fectual merchandising methods at
the selling conference.

house for tested ideas not used by
realtors. The courses in real estate
appraising and real estate selling,
published by the national associa-
tjon, will be used as the basis for
each of the conferences, and each
conference member will receive a
COPY of one of these courses. The
text material will be used only as
an outline for the speakers, who
will describe the methods which
they now are finding profitable in
their businesses.
