The Business of Abstracting THE business of abstracting titles is of comparatively recent growth. As lands increase in value the need of title security beconjps more and more imperative. jf , It is just as sensible to safeguard the title to a tho^and- dollar vacant lot as it is to keep" your thousand dollar bond un­ der lock and key. Protection in either case is the thing sought X}ood titles make real estate as negotiable as stocks or bonds. There is no way of being sure about tbe title except by the help of an abstract.
