^Continued From First Page t
a second major topic of the conven
tion. It is the great, possibilities
that exist in practically every city
for rehabilitation of old structures
that are nevertheless sound struc
tures for the development of good
low-cost housing at private initia
tive. F. H. A. has already indicated
it is ready to back such undertak
ings. when well conceived, with
mortgage insurance.
In the meantime the American In
stitute of Real Estate . Appraisers,
professional branch of the associa
tion in the valuation field, has
scheduled on its program at the
coming convention a very specific
discussion of the influence of urban
decentralization on central business
values.
David Neiswanger, Topeka, Kans.,
chairman of the institute's Com
mittee on Education, past vice presi
dent of the association and past
president of the Kansas Association
of Real Estate Boards, will address
the institute on this subject. George
H. Coffin, Jr., Hollywood, Calif., will
lead the subsequent discussion.
Barnard Will Speak.
How is the value of a good sound
house that is no longer new affected
by construction in the low-price field
of houses financed on small down
payments and monthly payments?
Appraisers of the country will dis
cuss this, too. at the coming meeting
of the institute at the Los Angeles
convention.
Boyd T. Barnard, general partner,
Jackson-Cross Co., Philadelphia, will
open the subject and will review
basic principles and procedures of
valuation with special reference to
trends affecting the outlook for fu
ture use of the house that is five, 10,
15 or more years old.
Charles B. Shattuck. head of the
Shattuck Co., Los Angeies, vice
president of the Institute and also
of the association for the Southwest
region, will lead the general discus- i
sion to follow.
Door Closers
Screen doors are more convenient
when there is some mechanism to
close them quickly. Door-control- i
ling devices can be obtained which
hold the door under control from
start to. finish of the closing opera- |
tion and provide a separate "slow or
fast” afljustment at the latch.
Screens for French Doors
Screen doors of tubular metal
framework are especially adaptable
to French door*, because the frame
is narrow and inconspicuous and
permits a larger light area. The
metal construction assures strength
and rigidity for the door yet carries
a minimum'of bulk and weight. The j
frames can be fitted with any stand
ard screening.
BE FA1RMINDED
When You Compare Cost*
Compare Quality. Too
Anything Leu than the Beit
Available in Quality and
Service Is Often No Bargain
at Any Price.

F COURSE, we don't like to brag,
but, darn it all. we have to tell
somebody about the A B C Oil

some of these A B C's were installed
back in 1921 and even*those are still
performing, and any piece of ma
