REAL ESTATE MEN STUDY | PROPERTY MANAGEMENT Operation Are Discussed at Con- | ference in Indianapolis. Property management is the latest| tice to become the subject of a local conference carried on through the co- operation of the National Association of Real Estate Boards with one of its local member boards. , The initial property management conference was held in Indianapolis, April 17. In general this conference followed the plans of the conference which the national association has held | for local boards on real estate appraisal | and sales methods. The advisability of making a survey in advance of the building of a new skyscraper or of an office building in any location to determine the probable | tenancy which would be attracted to such a building was one of the sub- jects emphasized in the conference. The conference discussed the way in which buildings should be planned if they are to become profitable struc- tures, the way rental prices should be determined, the way buildings should be operated under modern experienced property management methods and the way a renting campaign may be aunched for a new office structure cotonius brick home: hardwood tchen, electric refrigeration, at- Beautiful shade and shrubbery: North 7803 Five Exceptionally Good Homes Priced for Immediate Sqle ALL OPEN FOR YOUR INSPECTION $7,750 423 Marietta Place Marietta Park to_sell very quickly. the many conveniences included. purchase in Marietta Park.

Lovely oriel windows in front and the nicest screened living porch on the side, big and roomy; a homey fireplace and awfully nice Colonial woodwork all through the house. And the lovely views on all sides, even from the kitchen window! I just can't keep that beau- tiful kitchen out of my mind. And you'll just rave over that big master bed room, the oodles of closets everywhere, the first floor lavatory, and the two-car garage—that alone will save us $15.00 a month, The salesman says Lyon Village has every modern convenience—only 10 minutes from the ‘White House, Betty Lou is fast asleep and I must put her to bed.
