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.

DISPLAY WEEK BIG SUCCESS!
Manufacturers Decide to Show Home
Products Annually.
MERCHANTS TO BE 3ANQUETED

tbat They Have Profited and
a Big Jollification Will
Be Held.
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. This decision was reached after
the attitude of the retail defers toward
the project was found to be so favorable.
A committee has been appointed by
the association to make plans for a din
ner and entertainment by which they
can show their appreciation of the use
of the retail windows to the retail deal
ers. The committee will confer with the
retail dealers In whose windows the dis
plays of Omaha made goods have been
placed regarding the advisability of the
dinner or entertainment In the mean
time the opinion of the dealers in the
downtown shopping district on the prop
osition of holding a week of window
displays every year will be gathered by
the association.
Trade la Enlivened.
Many dealers have reported to the
manufacturers that the displays have de
cidedly enlivened trade and that they
would be in favor of making the dis
play an annual event, making the ex
hibits more elaborate each year.
Display week practically will close to
night, atlhough many of the window
shows will remain In place until Monday.
Some of the' manufacturers began taking
out their exhibits this morning. These,
however, were located in shops that close
Saturday afternoon or are closed Satur
day night. The guessing contests In
most instances will be kept open in an
ticipation of the Saturday night rush.
A few of the manufacturers have put
in extra boxes to contain the guesses of
the shoppers expected as a wlndup of the
display week.
These cards will be judged next week
and the announcement cf the winners
of the various guessing contests will be
made simultaneously by all the manu
facturers next Sunday.
