They are so close ly and confidentially allied with At lanta’s prodigious growth that time is precious and important to them. It was not ah easy task to gain audience with Mr. S. E. Davidson, for he is one of the busiest and most enthusiastic of those con nected with Atlanta’s growth. Yet. when he learned that the subject was not to be a foreign one but merely a little conver sation about real estate, he was willing to relax a minute find talk. The great success of Colonial Hill as a business oroposition. aside from the allrui-tic point of view in affording pu chasers full value of their ntone? at the op portune time, had art used some curiosity. The reporte • evinced much of this himself when he ap proached Mr. Davidson. Mr. Davidson was not speaking to a prospective purchaser and his replies may not have been meant for publication. He was giving his candid personal opin ions. not his business plans. "Do you expect to put on another sub-division like Colonial Hill. Mr. Davidson?" the reporter asked. I can’t tell. You see a building lot must lie logical. That is. ice today vs. overcoats tomorrow. Ice is a marketable product now. Over coats will be later. " Today 1 find it hard to get the logical acreage. When 1 do. it may be 100 high for the present market to be altogether marketable. There is no question that all At lanta acreage will be a good product later. "Hitt what acreage would you consider marketable and logical today ?” "1 will only consider acreage that is ready now to be converted into homes. It must have a ear service, sewers, electric lights, gas. etc., or have these in imme diate prospect. Long distances from car lines or no water possi bilities make property illogical, for it lias no immediate selling power. "There are other considerations, too. which might appear minor. A lot without trees, for instance, is like a man without arms. Neither has its full value "Mr. Davidson, why has real es tate so many enthusiastii follow ers? Why does a purchaser al ways swell up with pride?" 'Well, there is an undeniable dignity in land-owning that the financial world offers in no other v. > A young man buying a lot fair to the public to force up - unwilling gaze a stodgy. tblL ' “ derstanding,” devoid ot at }-’ t.„, or charms.

Davidson, well known realty expert put Colo nial Hill and other desira ble residential sections on the map. feels much the same manliness as he would were he to take his father’s place on the farm. It is a new. interesting responsibility and one that will prove fruitful." The buying and selling of a lot." went on Mr. Davidson, now thor oughly inspired and forgetful of fleeting moments, "is a liberal edu cation for the beginner. To make 100 much on your first buy or to make it too quickly is dangerous. You must get in the line of prog ress. The steam-roller of profit is sure to squeeze your way.’ “Giving notes for land is like a bond issue of a city. You are spending the future. Do not make your liabilities too large." (You can see why the reporter was interested. Real esiate epi grams are not to be lightly con sidered. > "Judge a city by the strength and capacity of its building compa nies, material firms, etc. for every earload of building material brought to Atlanta adds to the price of Atlanta realty. Atlanta is the gateway to many states. It is the hub of the wheel All pressure is toward the center. And a Little Dissertation Upon the Newest Fashions in Shoes By Lady Duff-Gordon LADY DUFF-GORDON, the famous “Li>- cile" of London, and foremost creator of fashions in the world, writes each week the fashion article for this newspaper, presenting all that is newest and best in styles for well-dressed women. Lady Duff-Gordon’s new Paris establishment brings her into close contact with that centre of fashion. Lady Duff-Gordon's American establishment is at Nos. 37 and 39 West Fifty-seventh street. N- y York. tain candidate#’ So we must just suffer many na pleasing sights and be conso ed by few and far between delights and daintiness And while skirts are thus belnx shortened and cut up in the centr’ or at the side, bodices and blousei are being cut down lower anti lower, even the polo collar of the simplest Japanese silk tailor-cut shirt form ing a point so deep that once upon a time it would have been con-id ered positively decollete and intpo» sible for the daytime Every outlying sub-division is pres sure upon central pro -ty. Every man who buys a lot there aids in that central pressure." "Mr. Davidson, successful real estate dealing requires—-well, just what does it require?” ’ Seeing a prospect is judgment. Working it out is profit. "Work; that’s the watchword. Pile one day’s work on top of the other. One day’s hard work is fruitless unless the next day’s work is jammed snug, hard up be hind it." The reporter thought he under stood work, but the acquiring of real estate judgment was not with in his province. He wanted a tip or two from some one who knew, while the man was unconscious of giving valuable advice. With the assumption of mere reportorial curiosity, be made another inquiry. "Mr. Davidson, would you mind telling me how real estate judg ment is best, developed?” "It takes some time like every thing else worth having or know ing. it necessitates some anxiety. Perhaps the best and surest way is to buy five lots in five years. Sell your five lots. You have had the advantage of buying slowly, of considering carefully and of five years of continuous reasoning. You gain five profits. You are then competent to judge of any propo sition you are able to handle finan cially. "No one can develop real estate judgment for you. Some attempt it but lose out. It requires time, personal investigation and your own funds. You will be almost forced into good judgment when ,your pocketbook is involved. Buy ing real estate is the only way to learn real estate." There was evidently much more to be said on the real estate ques tion. if Mr. Davidson had not sud denly realized that the reporter was using time that might be spent to better advantage in the pursuit of his bobby. His attitude changed from that of the genial conversa tionalist and he was once more the alert, clear-sighted real estate dealer. Colonial Hill, one of the most successful sub-divisions of Atlanta, is five miles from the center of the city. It has from two and one-half to five-minute car service, hence it is logical from Mr. Davidson s point of view. Mr. Davidson would not have undertaken to sell it un less it had met all ..is requirements —electric lights, gas. water, etc. How well Colonial Hill did meet with Mr. Davidson's requirements <an be best demonstrated by ac tual figures. 'Mr. Davidson sold $270,000 worth of Colonial Hill lots. These were sold during the win ter of 1911-12, which will long be memorable because of its unusual cold and plentiful rainfall. Colo nial Hill will probably never be seen under such disadvantages again. More than this. Colonial Hill was sold by Mr. Davidson himself. The results show that, he used judgment in seeing his prospects and work in selling them. His real estate advice is valuable, for it comes from personal experience.
