Declares Some Brokers Like Berrypickers Advertising Man Says They Hang Around One Bust Too Long

They Should Scour Field

Oentle Hint Talkative Bar bet (about lather). 'Would you mind • ling yout mouth, sir*"

Writing entertainingly In the National Real E*tat< Journal. Charles H. Mackintosh, past president of the Associated AdTt tiring Clubs of the World, finds an analogy between the gregarious bcrryplckcr and the realtors who tend _ to flock together whin hunting •'prospects." The following are a few of his thoughts on this subject: 'If you have ever watched, or participated. In a berrypicking party, you have surely noted the gregarious tendency to hunt in herds—a doren people with palls and buckets will cling closely together as they go from bush to bush In the wild woodland, looking for berry-bearing bon"Soneone Onus a ousn simply loaded with fruit. At once, the entire party concentrated upon it and st ilpe It to the bare branches, carb getting about five b'rrlcs and a half. Onr Pioneer Picker "Meanwhile, there Is usually at least one tndlvduallstic berry picker , who wanders away from the herd and bunts alone. Finding bis bonxanxa bush, he transfers Its wealth entirely Into his own buckets, without having to hu-ry for fear lest he be deprived of the bulk of the find by others. "It is a wise realtor who. when picking prospects, remembers that the bcrryplckcr who hunts out his own bush keeps It quietly to himself Is tbe one who brings borne the brim' mlng buckets full of berries a' close of day. "People who need homes, bul don't know it. are much better prospects anyway than peop.c who need them aad know It; nol only because there is less competition for their business, but because they are no much easier to

sell.

"Well, who Is this home needer Ignorant of his need and the residential property realtor's best and easiest prospect?

like.

Those are the ones who keep the homo-needed from knowing his need by keeping bis outgo close to bis Income that the bare poeslblllty of actually buying his own home never really penetrates to his mind.
