THE BEE : OMAHA, SATURDAY, JULY 12, 1919. : WOLF TO APPLY STORE METHODS TO REAL ESTATE Prominent Realtor to Offer 50 Pieces of Property, Val ' ued at Over Million in Big Sale. ' "I believe that in buying and selling real estate you can apply department store methods. In other words, I believe that in the real estate business you can go into the open market, buy property at the best ''obtainable prices and thsr. sell the game to customers, j tnus mKing a reasonable prom, saw narry a. wolt ot tne rt. A. Wrlf company, one of the most suc cessful realtors in the central west. . ''At least, I am going to try ,he experiment." added Mr. Wolf, "and " so confident am I that the experi ment will be a success that I am tal.ing a full page of space in The . Sunday Bee, offering SO pieces of Omaha property, the aggregate value of which will exceed $1,000, 000." Tie H. A. Wolf company, as is well known, started in the real es tate business in a small way in Omaha something like six years iagc. By its square business methods it has forged ahead until it has be come one of the strongest concerns of the kind in the central west. Its sales last year aggregated some- I thing over $2,500,000. I tv : u:- i l. : i real estate and giving customers the I benefit of his knowledge on values .' and his years of expert experience, Mr. Wolf added: Wants Only Fair Profit. "As I said, I am going to try real department store methods. The properties that I propose advertis ing in The Sunday Bee are all good bargains. They are so good that I , bought them with my own money v and in selling them I am going to be satisfied with a fair profit, letting , my customers in on the transactions so that they will be able to share in inf nrni r. M "You know that the head of a I progressive store is always on the ' lookout for bargains and when the if bargains are obtained, he' is in .a II position where he can undersell I most of his competitors, give his H . customers the best goods at the lowest possible prices and at the same time make a fair profit for himself. This is the very thing that I propose to do in ' handling real estate. It is an innovation, but I believe it will work out. "Immediately after the armistice was signed, I realized that in building-construction, prices were going up ana to stay, it is a iact tnat in construction the major portion of the cost is for labor, and as I view ' the situation the wages of men have gone up to stay and to stay per manently. I took the oosition that if I could purchase property at be-fore-the-war prices, I could make money for myself and for my cus tomers by taking over properties and letting go of them to parties 1 who might want to buy. I am now going to 4 tnat verv thing and I I am going to give my customers To Satisfy Customer. "The average real estate agent starts out by hunting a customer and afterward he seeks a property that he thinks will satisfy that par ticular customer. Result is, the cus tomer becomes skeptical and hesi tates about buying. Much of the property is withdrawn from the market and the sales are not made. With me, I buy the property, paying the owner his price and then I am in a position to give my clients the benefits of my ' experience in val ues." - Mr. Wolf is conceded to be one of the experts on values and con stantly he is called upon by banks, trust and land companies to ap praise properties in the city and Acountry. "Speaking about values," said Mr. Wolf, "there is going to be lots of money made on Omaha real estate. Values are not going down, but in stead, are going to increase, and while upon this subject, let me say that the tenant has little cause for complaint by reason of the fact that his rent has been raised. The in crease in rent has not kept pace with the increase in the cost of construction. "Since prior to the war, rents have advanced probably 25 per cent During the same period the cost of building construction has increased fully 100 per cent and there is little to indicate that there is going to be any decline in rents in the 1 near future. Thus, my ad vice to the man who wants a home is to buy now and not delay, for instead of property values being lower in Omaha, they are going to be much higher." One and a Half Cent Decline In Gasoline Price In Nebraska tl. 1 : . : . 1 : 1 : A a wet spring and a disappointing I export trader are referred to as some of the reasons tor a drop in the price ot gasoline in Omaha yes terday from 26 to 24" cents a gal lon. The same reduction applies all over Nebraska, according to an nouncements of dealers. "This decline in price is due to a ', combination of reasons," said L. V. Nicholas. "We are right on the edge of what appears to be ' a tre- mendous overproduction of crude oiL The big export trade has not opened up as was anticipated with signing of the peace treaty, and un less it does there is a possibility of even lower gasoline prices." The Standard Oil made a similar announcement of reduction of price today. - Clerk Klakes Big Profit. Elmer E. Shively, formerly cferk in the general passenger offices of the Union Pacific, last March went fanning, buying 160 acres of land in western Nebraska, paying $25 an acre for the same. The other day he sold his farm at $50 an acre, making a net profit of $3,200 in less tbaa avc months. Brief City News Have Root Print It Beacon Press.

White and Hausey were also in an automobile, and had shopped at the scene of the holdup to repair a tire puncture.
