Say$ Smm aCnt Valuéis "'Aside from the known fact that signis depreciate property values and materially cheapen. mny community when used to the excess that is pre- valent bere, -the psycbological reaction to any. sign is contrary to its intent. It implies distress. and places the e m- phasis on price alone, rathér than value. 1-f you want to make a quick job of ruining values on the nortb shore, the surest way is to put a sign on every piece of property that is for sale. After ail, the property 1belongs to the owners, and our duty to.them is to build up and maintain values rather than tear thein down merely- for the sake of cheap in-, stitutional advertising.- Signs have been oun hobby-not the owners, and we; should -face the issue squarely as an indication that we deserve the trust reposed in us. We believe that al owners of prop erty will_ support this' miove to dlean up a distressing situa- tion. We welcome their commàent."'
