GRIFFIN, GEORGIA

whole. LOCATION—From Griffin go east on Solomon St. and on to
Searcy Ave. At the Dundee Mill turn left across the railway tracks on to
Rehoboth Rd. The Circle R Ranch is 6.5 miles from the Courthouse on
paved Rehoboth Rd. Follow Auction signs to sale site.
THE BEST OF NEW AND OLD INCORPORATED IN A REBUILT
ANTE BELLUM HOME. This charming home was constructed prior
to the Civil War of the finest materials and best craftsmanship. Today
this stately home has been completely rebuilt to modern standards. It
has 4 bedrooms, a living room and den combination, a large kitchen, a
recreation room upstairs and over $2,000 worth of carpeting has been
placed in this home.
Of the 368 acres to be offered, approximately 150 are in open land with
permanent pastures, good fences, and plenty of water. The property
lies on both sides of the Rehoboth Road. Of gently rolling terrain, this
land is known as some of the finest in this part of Georgia.
100 ACRE LAKESITE—One of the most valuable features of this large
acreage tract is the 100 acre lake site which Mr. Roberson has already
had surveyed, professionally planned, with work already underway on
the dam. Engineers estimate this lake could become one of the finest in
Georgia, with such a great source of water from 7 large springs. Experts
have determined that 22,000 gallons of water per minute will flow
into this lake. On inspection you can see for yourself the potential of a
lake this size which could be developed for business or the enjoyment
of family and friends.

"WHO SAYS SO?" We do. It's a trend.
"HOW COME?" Checks do a better job. Cash is
easily lost, easily spent. It's dangerous to hold and
attracts criminals. Look at the crime rate.
"WHAT'S THE COST?" Depends upon the number
of checks you write and your balance. Internal
Revenue likes to see a cancelled check as evidence
of a deduction.
