Complete X-Rejr Laboratory Lady Attendants -- , An Important Court Decision All buyers and sellers of real estate should be familiar with a ruling made on June lfi, 1924, by the circuit court of Virginia, in Nor- j folk, Va. This was a case brought by the Norfolk real estate board to prohibit a non-realtor from advertising himself as a ‘‘realtor". The court upheld the contention of the Nor folk real estate board and ordered the non realtor to quit advertising himself as a realtor. The court in its opinion said that the use of the word realtor by the non-realtor was “of such a character as to mislead and deceive the public,".“and so deprived them ! of the protection afforded by actual member ship in such a board and consequent liability to discipline lor improper conduct." The court’s reference was to the fact that the non-realtor was NOT a member of the Nor folk real estate board. j Realtors in Norfolk are governed by the" same regulations and ethics that govern Omaha realtors.
