Southland Estates Corporation IgHStj, 603 Third National Bank Building, Atlanta, Ga. THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS: SATURDAY, MAY 4. 1912. THROUGH BEAUTIFUL ATLANTA TO THIS MOST ATTRACTIVE SUBURBAN SECTION • Suburban development in the past few years astonishes every one. Yet it is merely the result of the law of demand. Necessity pushes thousands of people into the suburbs-to solve the problem of living and thousands of others go for more ideal Conditions of life. THIS DEMAND FOR BEAUTI FUL SUBURBAN HOME SITES IS ANNUALLY INCREASING AND WILL IN THE FUTURE IN CREASE MORE RAPIDLY THAN AT ANY TIME IN THE PAST. "Out of the din and noise" is the slogan of those who can get out— and this class is swelling every day —moved both by choice and by ne cessity. It is the business of the Southland Estates Corporation to supply this GROWING DEMAND—to take ad vantage of these endless opportuni ties to develop and market high class residence districts, as the needs of the city appear. And in this worthy work, so close ly identified with the LASTING, SUBSTANTIAL INTERESTS OF Millions Have Been Made in Real Estate By Purchasing Just a Little Ahead of Development W ith practically no exceptions beyond those you can count on the fingers of one hand, all the big fortunes in At lanta have been made in real estate, and these by exercising judgment in buying just ahead of and in the line of de velopment. lhe men who bought large acreage and developed subdivisions have made money-, but the people who have bought lots in any ot the subdivisions have in the aggregate made more money than the people who put on the subdi vision. People who bought out ai a distance from the city center a few years ago were called crazy, but in two years values have generally increased one hundred per cent, and the skeptic then is paying the big advance now, and glad to / be permitted to get property at the higher figure. We Offer This Opportunity for Profit in Atlanta To Everybody in America. The Wonderful Movement of Crowded Population Out to Sunny Suburbs of Atlanta The reports of the men who made the appraisement of Atlanta property and talks with many of those who took the Federal census of the dty prove conclusively that the “To the Suburbs Movement" has gained an impetus that doubless is realized by but few citizens. nat buildings are being deserted by their old denizens, who are going to the suburbs and buying homes. Every suburban section of At groy ln ß at an astonishing rate. The growth of some of Atlanta’s suburbs tn ten years Is a little short of miraculous. Take a ride on any J !Jle . 9 and notice the new houses—-evidence that there is a gr«at awakening of the home building and home owning spirit. Every time a man builds a home he is establishing a nucleus for a center of population, bound to spread. , ® u .'? urbs is solving many problems for Atlanta that are puzzling the learned men of the universities. Domestic felicity ’® c . rllg T , self-owned homes. There is no doubt about It. When a man finally realizes that his duty Is to provide a self- ,I’. - e r hhe famih, he rises to the new responsibilities; he becomes more domestic in his habits: he finds comfort and happiness In the fireside It is true If you do not believe it. make an investigation in the suburbs. ■ 2" e - mat Jer that attention has been called to by the census takers. The home-owning movement has worked along the line of solv- f J koe a 6 a P JL° 1 en ?’. T ? klns children out of flat buildings and the atmosphere of the thickly populated centers into the freedom of the sub urbs, has decreased the ratio of mortality. Less children are dy- ing that is one point. Another one is that more children are If being born. A woman in a self-owned home is -surrounded by a | general neighborhood atmosphere of healthy domestic common i sense, and realizes that home without children Is Incomplete. I Health-, children are being born and growing up in the suburbs I amid environments th it augur well for the future Atlanta Home pride Is demanding good school facilities, churches and all that tends to educate and elevate, that tends to build up good char- acters and fit children to battle with the world > It is actually coming to pass that it is a sort of a reflection on B CZ a man If he does not own his own home, or a place on which he W B 1 — ; can build some day. Deny it as you may, it is so. The man v— ' T or woman who owns a home is respected; thev are raised in a f — ' sphere above their companions in the flats or the rented houses. '—bn To not own a home is becoming more and more a confession of CTT' lack of initiative and that force of character essentia] to success ~ : - *g in life.

SOUTHLAND ESTATES COR PORATION has put on the market its first subdivision, WESTLAND ESTATES. The Corporation owns this property. It is in the best part of Atlanta's suburbs. It is reached by beautiful cherted streets, through a neighborhood wFfich there is no better in Atlanta and a lot in this subdivision will in the ordinary op eration of events increase in value. by an enormous percentage long be fore the payments are completed, if kept up In with the con tract for the purchase. There was a time when West End was a separate town and farther away from the real active center of Atlanta than WESTLAND ES TATES is now. Park and Lee streets and all those fine thoroughfares were far out In the county. When you went out to the old Adair homestead you were in the country. And so WESTLAND ESTATES, with all of its natural beauty, and some im provements which will be made, long before the young man of Atlanta has reached old age. become an integral part of the city itself, and no doubt far within the city’s boundaries. It does not require that the man who makes this statement should be the seventh son of a seventh son or gifted with any superior power of prophecy or he acquainted with the mysteries of reading the future. As Patrick Henry said, "The only way we can judge the future is by the past,” and Atlanta, continuing to in- crease and grow by the same per centage as now, will soon surround and enclose practically all the near in property as a part of the city itself, with all of the improvements which attend. The cotton field of yesterday becomes the residence places of tomorrow. It is the experience in every grow ing city that the man who has made/ money in real estate on a small cap ital is the one who has purchased out of his savings property in the direct line of the city's growth and improvement and awaited till, by reason of the Increase in population, his lots and lands have become of great value. The com fields of the Bronx and the goat hills of Harlem have made millions for the owners of the property when the skeptic stood by and would not give tan cents an acre for any of those lamia. Coming nearer home, there are a score of instances in Atlanta of numerous profits which have been made and fortunes w-hlch have been secured by the operation of the same Immutable law. i 15
