Pearson discussed some prime
investment areas:
"Real estate investment trusts
will train their investment eyes on
suburban real estate, realizing that
the shift to suburbia will accele-
rate, and that the richest invest-
'ment opportunities will lie in new
suburban shopping centers, tied in
with new housing developments
and office complexes, and that
the intense bidding for suburban
sites will make for increasing value
enhancement in suburban land.
"Resort real estate will come in-
to its own as a major investment
opportunity, by reason of longer
vacations and higher incomes, the

Bill Manser
graduated in 1967
with a B.S. degree in
Industrial Engineering.
After an intensive training program,
Bill became an IBM marketing
representative. His job: selling
computer systems..
His technical background is valuable
Many of Bill's customers are
involved in scientific and engineering
applications. "That's where my
engineering degree really pays off.I
can come to grips with technical
details without losing sight of the
overall picture."
Marketing is solving problems
But, as Bill points out, there's a lot
more involved in marketing at IBM
than just selling a product: "I sit down
with the customer and learn what his
information handling problems are.
Then I have to analyze his total
operation in depth.
Only after weeks-sometimes
months-of analysis do I recommend
a specific computer system that will
answer his needs.
"One of the best things about my
job is thatI get to deal with people at
the top. Company presidents. Decision-
makers. And my work helps them
make multimillion-dollar decisions.
"Thave a partner and we operate
as a two-man team. IBM believes that
small teams generate- more and better
ideas. So doI."
