10 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND REWS. rf^Tt niMf. FEBnrAur 1*. i*?. BIG DIVIDENDS—AN ABSOLUTELY SAFE INVESTMENT AN INTEREST IN A GRAPHITE MINE IS BETTER IN EVERY WAY THAN Bank Stock, a 4 ^Savings Account, or a Real Estate Investment WHY? Because it is safer, and will pay three or four times as much interest on the investment. Bank stock may become valueless, savings accounts often evaporate and real estate is liable to depreciate.in value. But where nature deposits in the ground millions and millions of tons of GRAPHITE, in plain sight, for which there is an ever-increasing market at very good prices, it is absolutely safe and extraordinarily profitable to become a partner, with large or small holdings, in such an enterprise. This graphite cannot become value; less, will not evaporate and can never depreciate in Value. j ., Within 43 miles of Atlanta there is such a mine, at Emerson, Bartow county. A WHOLE MOUNTAIN OP GRAPHITE. 30 acres in extent, with millions of tons of the valuable mineral, visible to the naked eye. The deposit is so enormous that it would take one hundred and fifty years of daily working to exhaust even half of this deposit. Tins mine is right here in Georgia, where investors can sec it for themselves. It is now the absolute property, without any encumbrances whatever, of some prominent Atlanta businessmen, who are preparing to install machinery this month, to mine, manufacture and market this GRAPHITE. WITHIN A MILE of this mine there is another graphite mine, with $100,000 capital, now manufacturing tons and tons of graphite every year, and earning handsome profits. THESE ATLANTA OWNERS ARE GOING TO TAKE SOME PARTNERS IN THEIR ENTERPRISE. This is t.hn npporfmifry nf trme fnr pnoseryniive niv^toi-M. Tiw^ in iiothlng problematical about this mine. It is there. Intending investors can lee it with their own eyes. • > . / " ~ ;—: In this space Mondav will appear a full explanation of the chance to become n part owner in this Georgia mine, a property owned bvAtlanta people, which is AB SOLUTELY SAFE and CERTAIN to become ENORMOUSLY PROFITABLE.
