i. There are many things that have brought about
the development of the Real Estate profession.
The demands of the tenants make it necessary for'
the agent to have the most improved conditions for
housing people, and you must be progressive in order
to fceep in advance and supply the highest type of
' home conditions, as are exemplified in the latest type
of apartment houses. . , '
We have kept in the front ranks as Rental Agents.
Our Rental Department has grqwn from a modest be
ginning to a business enterprise 6f considerable magnitude.-
, , '
It is truehat we have given years of study" to the
building and managing of apartment houses. We have
studied the science of modern housing from every
angle. ' y J
We' have charge of fourteen apartment houses; and also have the management of some 500 houses, flats
and terrace's. ' ' X' , . ': V s n
Among the many apartment houses are the five shown o"n this page, illustrating the science of building
apartment houses. Four of these were completed in 1916 and one during the latter. part of 1915. Each of these
buildings have incinerators, ref rig- c ; ' -
erators and gas stoves, and each 0 . , '
apartment has from one to two '
built-in f'Murph'y In-a-Door". beds.
The size of the, apartments range
from 2 to 5 rooms. V
, The growth of the Rental De
partment of this firm has been re
markable, and in order to take
care' "of oui" clients''; .accounts we
; have 'minimized ihe cost of main-
' tenance and s jr s t e m i z e d our

In charge of the Rental Department is Miss Catherine Shields, who has gained an .
enviable record tor her ability in this particular line. She has two able assistants,-one Of
j whorix is assigned to office work, and the other takes care of the details on the outside. She
also has charge of a staff of cepair men, who are thoroughly familiar with the desires of
the clients, and-who do not spend money when it is not necessary. ' ; " . '
r : It is interesting; to talk with Miss Shields and learn from her the many things'
that the tenants desire and what you mustive them' at the least, expense possible and yet
i satisfy them, as well as the owner of the property. , P . , ' .
' .'I '- Miss Shields made the following com ments on "Modern Apartment Houses" ;
, ', ,v x "Modern methods of living have made the building of apartment houses a science. .
, As we have become modern and fastidious in dress, so we have become in our home life, until
' it is almost impossible to re'nt an apartmenjt unless it is equipped with all of the details
necessary to satisfy the most exacting tenant. The architecture of'an apartment house has
. (fhanged, and does change as quickly almost as fashions and1 amusements. The demands
. of yesterday are forgotten in the desires of tomorrow. A few i years ago people were
highly pleased with flats, of which the St. Louis was the most popular. In these they fur
bished their own heat, water (took care of it themselves), and were apparently quite con
tented with this mode of construction. .Then came the apartment house, which has been
changed, exterior an4 interior, until today an apartment house is not complete unless it has
sun rooms, sleeping porches, gas dryers, laundries, vacuum cleaners, refrigerators, gas
stoves and built-in beds. " In fact, a modern apartment, house today is so complete that it
takes very little furniture to furnish it. Everything is at youKfinger's end, no matter,
what "you may want!, . ; ' - ; A '
"If you study, the cost of construction and value of land, there would be'no occasion
for the remark that landlords are asking too much rent. Not only must the building be
'complete in all of its details, but a tenant expects so much more in an apartment house
than he would thiik of putting into his own home. The builder of apartment houses has
but little choice as to what his own ideas may be. He must always bear in mind what'the
tenant wil expect and demand from him if he wants to fill his building and keep it rented."
We have constructed many apartmentTh'ouses for clients, and while we always try
to please the tenant, we never loseight of the fact that the investor must have an equita
ble return on the money e invests. It is pleasing to know that you have rendered service
worthy of consideration and the relations that should exist between tenant and owner can
only be reached through successful management. ): 1

two things in apartment b.uildirig.

the needs of the tenant an,d apart- -t
ments that pay. When you combine
the two you have the ideal invest-
ment and you should consult suc
cessful managers before you-build
or buy an investment.' If you have
money to in vest'you cannot find any
safer or better field than apart
ments, and when you understand all
the conditions ypu will be pleased to1
place your money in this form of an
', investment ; ; ,, k ; t . ; s;
v If youi; property is not bringing
' the returns it should, a call 'at our
office, consulting pur specialists will

anj!information regarding the rent
ing, building or buying of apart
ments, come to us and we will be
