CITY LUNCHEON CLUBS ATTEND HOMEJEXHIBIT Milwaukee Realtors Guests at Show; Record Crowd Is Expected. The Home Show at the State fairground today was featured by the visit of nine members of the Milwaukee Real Estate Board, and the attendance of a number of civic and luncheon clubs in a body. Setting this as civic and luncheon club day, Emerson W. Chaille, realtor president, said: “The Realtors’ Home Show is being given by the Real Estate Board in an effort to promote greater interest in the building of better homes. The owner of the better home is the better citizen. We urge the members of civic and luncheon clubs, interested in promoting better citizenship, to attend the show and see what we are doing along these lines.” Thursday’s attendance of 16.000 was the largest this week, and with fair weather scheduled for today, the record mark of 16,500, made in 1926, was expected to be eclipsed. Attention paid by the crowds to home builders’ row, in the northvest corner of the building, gives color to thp belief of local builders that home building in Indianapolis this year will break all previous records. Most of the builders state that there are a larger number than ever before who are active prospects for new homes. The delegation from Milwaukee today was breakfasted at the Indianapolis Athletic Club and taken on a tour of the city. Luncheon was served at the home show. This group, which was in charge of the j recent home show in Milwaukee, en- ! tertained Mayor L. Ert Slack and a delegation of local realtors who attended the Milwaukee exhibition. J. W. Paddock, representative of the Southern Pine Association, which provided the lumber for the model home, talked to the building trades students at Technical High School Thursday.
