GOOD
<G> ® ®
MAN said coming down on the car
this morning—
“Atlanta is wonderful.”
I don’t believe he knows how
great it really is. 1 say business is
good. It has been good for ten
years or more and it is going to be
better. Facts and figures in our office show
that it is good, and reports received by our
organization show that it is going to be better.
The eyes of America s investing public are on
- Georgia to-day, and that means Atlanta.
Never before in the history of our country have
investors from every section been so interested
in Southern farm lands and particularly in
Georgia farm lands. And never before has
the Southerner been so interested in Atlanta.
The South in the past twenty-five years
has grown away from the scars of the Civil
War, blooming out like a new flower. This
course of development has made many million
aires all over the South. In their little ham
lets the facilities for taking care of and
manipulating large fortunes are inadequate.
This brings to Atlanta a host of rich men,
who must use our railroads, extensive tele
phone connections, telegraphic equipment,
together with our banking facilities and our
professional men in the many avenues for
assisting men of this caliber.
And only in Atlanta can you find office
buildings to house them, beautiful subdivi
sions for their homes, operas and society for
their families, good roads and parks and clubs
for entertaining their friends.
Consequently from this period on Atlanta
will reap a harvest of these capitalists, for this is
what they are. This means the cDncentration
EDWIN P. ANSLEY
of money. Atlanta has only really begun to
grow. Our real strength in the next 25 years
will surpass any of our greatest expectations
in the increase of values, in the increase of
growth and in the increase of population.
This outside money coming into Atlanta
and Georgia has helped make business good
and will help make it better. Conditions in
Georgia have never been better. Year before
last we had a bumper crop. Last year we had
an average crop and good prices. Georgia is
entitled to only 1,500,000 bales.
— EDWIN P. ANSLEY
This year farmers have been favored with
good weather conditions to get a better start
and reports received in our office from every
section of the state show that grain crops are
in a flourishing condition. Cotton has been
C lanted and the prospects for a good crop are
ooming.
Atlanta is no place for the pessimist.
Neither is Georgia. There may be other places
where “business is rotten” but that place can
not be found in Georgia. Figures and statist
ics as a rule are uninteresting but when they
are so colossal as those which apply to Georgia
they are astounding.
The value of the products of Georgia’s
factories, farms, forests and mines last year
reached the astounding total of over Five
Hundred and Fifty Million Dollars! Georgia
people had on deposit last year in the banks
over the state nearly One Hundred and
Twenty Million Dollars and the value of prop
erty} in Georgia amounted to over One and
One-half Billion Dollars!
Get that? Can you? You just can’t?
Think it over. Study it. And believe me
when I say—
Business is good.
And Atlanta is due to grow for fifty years
yet.
Within the past few months our office
has sold Four Hunered and Fifty Thousand
Dollars worth of property. Of this amount
about Three Hundred Thousand Dollars was in
Atlanta Real Estate and the balance in Geor
gia farm lands.
These figures are being swelled daily, and I fully believe that the present year will be the greatest
in our history, and all sane, careful, conservative buying, too.
Right now we have deals pending in our office which call for the exchange of valuable property*
in several large cities of the North and East for Georgia farm lands. People with money in this sec
tion realize that the time is not far distant when Georgia farm lands will be the most valuable in the
country. They know that we can net more money per acre with a variety of crops than is possible in,
other sections.
Recently we sold small farms to farmers from the North and they are making enough out of the
land to pay for it in a few years. We had just as much land in cultivation years ago as we have now in
Georgia, yet by improved methods and scientific farming the output from the soil has increased four
fold since 1880. We are just learning how to get from the soil all that nature will give. And we ara
doing this without increasing our capital and with less effort. And this is the backbone for all our
values. •
In other words, we are using brains.
Facts and figures in our office'back me up in my statement. 1
I can give you figures which would convince you that within a few years Georgia farm lands will
be selling at a premium and that thousands of colonists from every section in the Union will be working
these lands, giving bumper crops and causing additional millions to roll into our State. This depart
ment has sold within the past few weeks over One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars worth of
farm lands and we have deals pending which will inject more activity into the Agricultural line in Geor
gia than has been witnessed in years.
Just to give you an idea of what people think of Atlanta Real Estate and Georgia farm lands, I am
submitting a list of transactions our office has made recently of the small parcels showing plenty of
buying and in amounts that can and will be paid for.

Business is good. It is going to be better. Don’t let anybody tell you differently.
Don’t let a little thing like a change in the National Administration at Washington let you forget
how rich and prosperous Georgia really is. If investors in New York, Chicago, Washington, Philadel
phia and other large cities of the North and East are willing to get rid of valuable city property and
invest in Atlanta and Georgia, people down here need not worry. I am not worrying. I am walking
on the sunny side of the street and so is every member of our organization. We know what is here and
we want others to know.

We know that Atlanta does things and will continue to do things. We needed a little money to
take care of Shriners from all over the country. We went out and got it. And we could not get it if the
money wasn’t here.
Keep remembering continually how rich Georgia is in natural resources and how rapidly Atlanta
real estate values are enhancing.
And remember—
Business is good.
