NEEDS POINTED OUT
Salesmanship Is Prime Factor,
Says Exchange Head.
PERSISTENCY RANKS HIGH
Intimate Knowledge in Dealings
Must Be Backed by Honest, Ener
getic Ability for Success of
Operations, Is Set FVrth.
"There is no part of the real estate
office so important, none so interest
ing as the selling end of it." says B.
G. Koebbe. president of the Salesmen's
Association of the St. Louis Real Es
tate Exchange.
"The successful real estate salesman
of today Is the prime factor of the en
tire real estate community, for capa
bility as a salesman is essential to
make one pre-eminently successful In
the realty profession.
"The qualifications of a real estate
salesman to be successful are many.
He must have a pleasing and a. con
vincing personality. He must be ener
getic, backed up with ability. He must
be frank and honest In his dealings.
Besides possessing these qualities he
must study his prospective purchaser
as to his human nature. He must be
familiar with the property he Is trying
to dispose of, must be able to reason
and point out the existing value, must
know about the cost of construction,
and ho must be able to answer any and
all questions, as to the enhancing or
depreciating values pf the section in
which he is to make a sale.
'A salesman should never give opin
ions off-handed. He should be careful
in his statements to a prospective pur
chaser, and make none that cannot be
borne out when his client makes his
investigation. No matter what business
a man may be in, he must enjoy It In
order to be successful.
"Another great factory is persistency.
We have in St. Louis a streetcar ad
vertising firm who use as their slogan,
'Persistent Publicity Pays.' This has
always appealed to me, not so much
because it is catchy, but because it is
the truth. If you advertise, do so con
tinually If you want results. Just so
with the real estate salesman, if you
have a prospective client, don't let htm
get away from you. unenthuslastlc over
the proposition, but stick with him. be
patient to a degree and Impress on his
mind that delays are dangerous.
"The real estate salesman is the
primo factor of the real estate office.
He represents the buyer,, the seller, the
taxpayer, the landlord, thus becoming
of such Importance that I leave it to
your imagination to see how far it
would reach."
MATERIAL LIST NEEDED
CHANGE IN MECHANICS' LIEN LAW
IS BLOW AT DISIIONESTV.
Benefit to Property Owner Expected, as
He Now Can Foree Contractor
to Pay Up Bills.
The recent Legislature amended the
mechanics' lien law so as to require
material men. In order to preserve their
former lien right, to furnish the owner
of the property sought to be charged
a duplicate statement of the materials
furnished.
The section of the statute amended
is 7416. and will be in effect after May
23. The amended portion reads as fol
lows: "Providing further, that every person
furnishing material of any kind to be
used in the construction, alteration or
repair, either it whole or In part, of
any building, wharf, bridge, ditch.
flume, fence, machinery or aqueduct, or
any structure or. superstructure, shall,
within ten days of the time such ma
terial is delivered to any person or con
tractor, deliver or mail to the owner or
reputed owner of the property on. upon
or about which said material is to be
used, a duplicate statement of all such
material delivered to any contractor or
person to whom any such material has
been sold or delivered, and no material
men's lien shall be filed or enforced
unless the provisions of this act have
been complied with."
The Supreme Court of Washington
held, in the case of Kingel vs. Newman,
1-b Pacitlc 943. as follows:
"Under R. and B. code, section 1133.
which requires a sub-contractor, in fur
nishing materials to the principal con
tractor, to furnish a statement of such
materials to the owner, the statement
need not sta. the price or prices."
This amendment should result in a
benefit to property owners, as they will
have notice within ten days after ma
.erial has been furnished on a Job
hether the material man will look to
them for payment, and can protect
themselves, compelling the contractor
to pay his bills.
Dishonest contractors will not be able
to purchase materials on the credit of
their job, as heretofore. Material men
will be obliged to rely more on the in
dividual Credit of the contractor.
The amendment does not change the
right of laborers to file their liens for
wages earned on Jobs.

INSURANCE HELD TO BE
DUTY OF MOTHERHOOD
Misunderstanding Is Blamed for Fact That Few Women Even Encourage
Husbands to Protect Family Against Poverty Resulting From Death.
IS THERE any human characteristic
greater In Intensity than a mother's
love for her children? A mother will
sacrifice everything for her children,
and only death will stay her hand In
their defense. Why is it then that the
average wife and mother neglects to
ask or to encourage on the part of
her husband, the one simple transaction
which will make her burden leas,
should the husband die prematurely V
One great reason is that the women
of America do not understand life In
surance. It is not their fault; they have
never been Informed. There are in this
country at this moment approximately
3.00J.000 widows: more than 2,00O.OOU
are more than 45 years of age, while
considerably more than 1,000,000 are at
least. 65 years old.
Ninety per cent of the lattor class are
either wholly or partly dependent upon
the charity or generosity of others: only
five per cent of the people of the
United States who reach old age arc
in a position of financial independence.
Six million women living In America
are now working for wages, and 3i
per cent of all widows are compelled
to earn their own living. A reliable
authority of the State Government of
Massachusetts claims that 94 our of
every 100 women die poor in spite of
large patrimonies.
These are facts which should be
known by the women of America. A
DODUlar knowledge or lire insurance
by the women of America means the

There is not one married woman in a
thousand who urges her husband to in
sure his life. There is not one inarrie!
woman in 500 who even offers en
couragement for her husband to lnbur)
his life, when the husband conwi'lcra
it desirable and consults hts wife.
As the matter now stands, woman is
the cause of life insurance, an uncon
scious and indifferent cause, with no
relation to the act or to the ultimata
effect of the act. She is not dynamic
in the situation. The act of a husband
taking out insurance, and the protec
tion which accrues to her at tho tlmo
when material support is most needed,
are merely Incidents, and she as the
cause, as well as the beneficiary, has
not been volitionally active. In nearly
all business transactions, the cause is
virile and compelling, and the stronger
the initial impulse the more surely and
quickly follows the resultant act and
consequent effect.
Therefore. life insurance as It Is
written today, speaking broadly, has ltn
genesis In a "dead center"; a policy In
placed on the life of man not because of
the cause, but rather in spite of tho
cause.
