Description

A letter from the Whittier Extension Company to S.W. Barton & Company in Whittier, California, 6 June 1913. Some prospects at the opening of the North Whittier Heights subdivision has been turned in by multiple agents. To make commissions fair, The Whittier Extension Company decided that if a prospect was brought to and closed by a specific agent, that agent will get the commission; if there are multiple agents for one prospect, the one to close the deal will get the commission; if an agent interested the prospect but a Whittier Extension Company agent closed the deal, the commission will be split 50 / 50. Land will soon increase from $700 to $735 an acre. With holes from a straight pin, creases, and early signs of foxing, the objects are in good overall condition.
