Jasper County Democrat, Volume 2, Number 48, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 March 1900 — A Woman House-Hunter. [ARTICLE]

A Woman House-Hunter.

House hunting is not a very pleasant occupation even at the best of times; and % bright and clever young woman has hit upon the novel way of increasing her income by relieving ladies in search of new habitations of this disagreeable but very necessary work. The difficulty which she herself experienced in seeking the desired kind of domicile is said to have given her the idea. She makes arrangements with the estate agents, and hunts houses on commission. Besides, she receives a fee of five shillings from the family for whom she finds the house. All that is necessary is to give her explicit instructions as to what is required, and if such a place is to be found within the limits of the stipulated area she finds it.
