THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JUNE 9, 1912 10 TIMELY REALESTATE GOSSIP Plans About Completed for National Convention of Bealty Men. MOVING SEASON. IS NOW ON Real KMate Men Occupying More Time on Renting Properties Than They Have Been In Selling. ' This Is moving season. During the last few weeks the attention of the pub lic has been specially drawn to the fact by the changing in address of several prominent Omahans. Preparing to leave Omaha for San Diego. H. J. Penfold sold his home at 3523 Howard street three weeks ago. Dur ing the last week C. M. Wllhelm sold his residence at Thirty-seventh and Jack son streets and I. A. Nash bought the E. A. Cudahy home at BIS South Thirty seventh avenue and moved into It. Others are building homes. Sidney Swanson, proprietor of the Calumet res taurant, will soon start the erection rf a home at Thirty-eighth and California streets, and Thomas Qulnlan of Hayden Bros, stores will build a home next door to him. There are many others that could be mentioned who have been seized by the moving spirit Men of national promlence will be in attendance at the fifth annual conven tion of the National Association of Real Estate exchanges, to be held at Louis ville, Ky., June 19 to 21. Brokers in every branch of the real estate buHlness are expected to be present and to partici pate In the various activities of the con vention. During the last year the na tion association has added about 1,500 member to Its roster, and it is expected that several more will Join before the convention this year concludes. Samuel 8. Thorpe of Minneapolis Is president of the national association. Mr. Thorp has given a great deal of time and attention this year to building up the organization, and has visited many cities throughout the country In this work. The vice presidents are Frank Craven, Philadelphia; V. H. Burghnor, Chicago; Samuel Collyer, Seattle; O. B. O'Reilly, St Louis; Forrest Adair, Atlanta, and C. D. Shepard, Winnipeg. R. Bruce Douglas of Milwaukee Is sec retary, A, Q. Bowes of Denver Is treas urer, and Thomas 8. Ingersoll of Minne apolis Is executive secretary. Arrangements for the convention are about completed. It Is expected that fully 1,000 delegates will be in attendance at thia meeting, and It la expected to be the largest gathering of real estate men vex held in America, ' - v The man with many millions of dollars to Invest, cannot put all his money In tenements, because he would have, to own several hundred, and that would require too much attention from the In vestor. But for the man of moderate means there Is nothing better than a few well selected tenements, according to a prominent New Tork authority. Let us consider the advanages In favor of the tenement house as a form of In vestment First, it Is rentable at all seasons of the year. Every month you have it rent ing market In business property If a man owns In the section where leases run out on the first of February and he hasn't managed to find a tenant by that date the chances are ninety out of 100 he will carry the vacancy for the entire year. This Is equally true of private houses and high grade apartment houses where the first of October has grown to be the end of the renting e?ason. In the second place, the loss due to each vacancy Is very small In relation to the total rental of the house, so that not only Is the period of vacancy apt to be short, but the amount of. loss la likely, to be trlvat both absolutely and In com parison with the loss suffered In business properties or high grade apartments. Third, the renting is less dependent on fashion or on shifting centers of activity. For example, when tho silk trade moves from GrandStreet up to Fourth avenue there Is a wholesale migration kikI they empty out the older section completely. It may be some time before other trade comes to fill In the gap.' One could hardly conceive of an occasion that would fc quire a wholesale migration of tenement house dwellers from one section to an other. In the case of higher grade apart ments the consideration of a niore fash lonable neighborhood or some newer Im provement, or some new fad or fancy that will make the tenant or, rather the tenant's wife or daughters feel that they must make a change to be up to date, plays a moet Important part, and lo and behold, a well rented apartment house is never subject to such sudden squalls. ' Fourth, if reductions must be made to keep a tenant the reduction In the tene ment house Is small, but no slight reduc . tion will tempt the merchant to remain when the majority In his own line will have migrated to some other section of the city. Fifth, 'comparing the tenement ' with high grade apartments and with business buildings or office buildings that are not , leased to one tenant the percentage of flvxed charges is smaller by far. This Increases the net return, which in any case Is larger In this class f. property.

So pleased is the Manufacturers' asso ciation with the results of the window displays that the week of showing Omaha made goods will be made an annual af fair.
