FAVORS "CERTIFIED HEATING" 'One of the most vitally important developments in modern home build- ing. is the increasing possibilities open to the home owner to know exactly what he is getting in the home he builds or buys. This is a move to make of certified heating a nation- wide affair, safe-guarding home own- ers throughout the country against the installation in their homes of poorly constructed heating plants. REMOVAL OF "FOR SALE" SIGNS ON N. 5. IS URGED (Continued from Page 51) can to make and keep it as inviting and attractive as possible. Certainly it is an assured fact that six or eight old rusty signs nailed on the trees of a vacant lot mar the beauty of that particular piece of property and others near it as well. 2--These various "For Sale" signs give the impression to people coming from Chicago that a great deal of property is on the market, which cheapens the north shore in the eyes of clients. 3--The north shore brokers should wish to see the signs removed because it gives the Chicago brokers, individ- ual operators and others the informa- tion that the property they have worked so hard to list is for sale. Could Save Money, Too 4--Much might be accomplished if the North Shore Board petitioned the villages to pass an ordinance forbid- ding the signs. Incidentally there is the point that the brokers could save the money they now spend for signs. At the same time the appearance, I believe, of the north shore should be improved. R. E. Market March Index 169, Lower Than Year Ago Real estate market activity for March was measured by an index figure of 169, according to the compi- lation made monthly the National Association of Real Estate Boards. The compilation is made from official figures of transfers and convevances recorded in 41 typical cities. The index is four points lower than the index for March of 1927. It is 20 points lower than the index for Feb- ruary of the present year. =| he Outline your idea of a home: We'll complete the picture The official moving day was "the day before yesterday." But mov- ing into your new home can still be, al- most literally, 'the day after tomorrow" if you'll come in and talk it over without delay.
