N-I-AH ~
The possibility indeed remote but should ever have
the opportunity to purchase real estate in Albuquerque New
Mexico have selected my agent already His is Galley
Underwood and have decided him because OF his Advertising
To appreciate the ads by Underwood Realty it would
be best to know bit of background on Mr. Underwood him
SELF He was born in Oklahoma in 1872 and attended the states
schools until entering Law School SMU, Dallas After gra
duatinq from sU he began his teaching in the public
school system Of New Mexico With the coming Of the Mr.
Underwood went into the Army and served until l94o after
which he into business in the Philippines Because OF the
health of Mrs Underwood he moved TO Albuquerque in 1852 and
entered the real estate business
I've seen list Of the organizations to which Mr. Under
wood belongs about IS in number but most interested
TO note to which he doesn't belong that being the Ab
oueroue Board of Realtors And therein hangs tale
In March of 1855 another ealtor sold listing Of Under
woods The home was secondary white neghborhood and
was sold to Negro Master Sergeant who had three children
Underwood took active steps TO sell the property bu IN MS
own words, what was worse did nothing to stop it.
I'm sure isn't too difficult to understand why Galley B.
Underwood doesn't belong to the local Board Of Realtors That
Underwood is man Of patience and tolerance and has genuine
concern for this Nation is obvious from what ne wrote me- Fol-
lowing the story Of the above incident, he wrote:

America only protest that is not being realistic; that
is like the ostrich believing that it ignores the sifud
ton will 90 away The real estate organizations OF this
country have it within their power TO- in large measure

easily prove the undoing Of this nation That this oppor
tuniy is within their grasp and is being ignored is the
basis for my argument.
It was out of the experience Of having been denied men,
bershp the Board Of Realtors that he began series OF small
ads in the local paper Titled THIS WE BELIEVE, Underwood
Realty has been running the ads for three years nav and
I'm sure hasn't made fortune from Them however this is one
thing believes that Galley and Mary Frances Underwood sleep
at noht with good conscience And that is something worth
while think you'll agree The way Mary Frances Underwood
once stated about the ads like this: Their publication
and the thinking behind them have, shall say hindered
somewhat his advancement in the real estate field"
I've selected few Of the ads which found pointed and
think always timely. Perhaps you'll agree with me on them?
They follow:
