8 A IIEARST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN, ATLANTA, GA., SUNDAY, MAY 11, 1013. ■WUt——WBP5HH I — 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.

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. Realty Trust Co., G. B.
