As the success of a real state business deépends almo . en- itirely on the executive manager, who {usually is the proprietor. it is n {sary for him to so arrange hi ization that it will function {most efficient manner. ~One of the most essential things }in modern business, and this is par- ticularly true of the real estate busi ness, is the matter of correspondenc he said. Many features of the real jestate business must nec rily be ihandled through the and the lecturer stated that while subord jnates in a al estate |should be permitted to handle cor- respondence in their particular work, the executive manager should keep lin close touch with all correspond- ence that originates in his office, for the reason that the generalpublic and clients frequently base their opinion of the efliciency of an office by the manner and method it uses in its correspondence. i’ Outlines Organization. After Mr. Saunders’ lecture John A. Petty, the instructor of the class, out- lined a skeleton organization of an average real estate oflicc and devel- oped by questions from the mem- bers of the class the personnel and its functions. This method brought to the class in practical way the actual operation of a real estate office. The next lecture will be held on Tuesday, November 15, at 7:30 p. m., at which time J. F. M.
