For the first time in the history of the Chicago Real Estate Board, a son has succeeded his father to the presidency.

The new president, Henry G. Zander, Jr., one of the directors of the organization for the last three years, is now in his thirty-sixth year, having been born here in Chicago. After completing school, he went to the University of Wisconsin. Then he served twenty-two months in the Army during the war. Together with his father and brother he has been conducting his real-estate business, Henry G. Zander & Company, founded in 1892.

The older Henry G. Zander came here from Germany at the age of eleven, in 1880. After occupying various positions, he was elected president of the Chicago Real Estate Board in December, 1923.

In connection with the World's Fair, there will be a convention of the national organization of real-estate boards of the entire country here next year.
