lumbus, Ga., says:
All records of the present year
in the states of Georgia and Ala

seven new corporations were filed
These new companies, represent
ing investments along commer
cial as well as industrial lines,
have a combined minimum
capital stock of $140,000 and
their authorized capital is well
in the millions. The distinct im
provement in business conditions

substantial basis of tne prosperi
ty of this section of the country.
