Often the broker serves as the
"sales manager" for Medford.
Through advertising letters, out-of-town
newspapers and folders he at
tracts new residents. Meny of these

activities.
Then the broker serves as an am
bassador and welcomer for the com
munity. He greets newcomers, points
out the city's advantages, and helps
them to find a comfortable home
among good neighbors.
And if new homes or homesites
are needed, it is the broker who pro
motes them. You will also find him
taking an active part in accomplish
