Broker Wins
Traffic Case

An Arlington real estate
man, ticketed on a charge
of directing traffic" for
placing a house directional
sign in the center island of
Glebe road, won an acquittal
under a recent ruling by
Arlington Judge Berton v.
Kramer.
The broker, Thomas G..
McBroom, through Attorney
G. William Hammer, argued
successfully that since his
sign was not posted in the
roadway proper he could not
be found guilty of directing
traffic. AS a result of the
decision a spokesman for the
Independent Real Estate
Brokers Association of Vir-
ginia has warned its men,
bers to use discretion in
posting signs until definite
regulations controlling such
posting may be set up.

said, we're built to combine
the attributes of family to-

Another builder included a

mortgage company set up
arrangements with builders

builder made arrangements
with a local drug store to

Hire Decorators
A very popular plan was to
hire a decorator to remain on
duty in a model home. This
decorator would talk over
various decorating ideas with
prospective purchasers as
they looked over the model
house. And the big selling
point was that the services

It's a cinch that no builder
will abandon a good selling
plan no matter how the hous-
ing industry fares in the
future.

The Federal Government
and the housing industry
have taken a number of steps
in recent months to stim-
ulate the sale of new homes.

that their efforts are bear

buying public will purchase
more houses this year than
in 1860. barring some unex-

No matter how much of an
increase there is in housing

sellers will continue to utilize

chandising plans spurred
home sales considerably-and
competition among the build

keen regardless or whether
housing starts increase, de-
crease or move all at an
even pace.

Vacation time Is the ideal
time to redecorate the room,

One teen-ager, 15-year- -old

After the wallpaper was re-

Although Colonial furni-
ture is popular with teen
ayers who have a choice,
handsome room effects may
be acieved by painting cast
off furniture from other
rooms around the house. Un-
painted furniture is not as
expensive as the finished va
riety, and many young people
paint it the same color as the
room to give a built-in effect,
antiouing the furniture to
give it a distinctive fillip.
White painted furniture that
has been antiqued or bur-
nished with gold is impressive
