MAN said coming down on the street
car this morning—
“Atlanta is wonderful.”
I don’t believe he knows how great it
really is. I 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 in
terested in Southern farm lands, and particularly in
Georgia farm lands. And never before has the South
erner 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 millionaires all over the South. In their little
hamlets the facilities for taking care of and manipu
lating large fortunes are inadequate.
This brings to Atlanta a host of rich men who must
use our railroads, extensive telephone connections,
telegraphic equipment, together with our banking fa
cilities 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 subdivisions for their homes,
operas and society for their families, good roads and
parks and olubs 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 concentration of money. Atlanta has
only really begun to grow. Our real strength in the
next twenty-five 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 Geor
gia has helped make business good, and will help make
it better. Conditions in Georgia have never been bet
ter. Year before last we had a bumper cotton crop.
Last year we had an average crop and good prices.

has been planted and the prospects for a good crop are
booming.
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 statistics as a rule are uninteresting, but
when they are so colossal as those which apply to Geor
gia they are astounding.
The value of the products of Georgia’s factories,
farms, forests and mines last year reached the astound
ing total of over Five Hundred and Fifty Million Dol
lars! Georgia people had on deposit last year in the
banks over the State nearly One Hundred and Twenty
Million Dollars and the value of property 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
Hundred and Fifty Thousand^ Dollars worth of prop
erty. Of this amount about Three Hundred Thousand
Dollars was in Atlanta Real Estate and the balance in
Georgia farm lands.
The figures are being swelled daily, and I fully be
lieve that the present year will be the greatest in our
history, and all sane, careful, conservative buying, too.
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 na
ture will give. And we are doing this without increas
ing our capital and with less effort. And the farms and
their products are the backbone for all our values.
In other words, we are using brains.
Facts and figures in our office back me up in this
statement.
EDWIN P. ANSLEY.
Georgia is entitled to only 1,500,000 bales, and we had
it last year.
This year farmers have been favored with good
weather conditions to get a better start and reports re
ceived in our office from every section of the State show
that grain crops are in a flourishing condition. Cotton
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
'i
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 forget how rich and prosperous Georgia really
is. 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 $90,000 to take care of Shrin-
ers from all over the country. We went out and got it
in a day. And we could get it again if we needed it.
/
Keep remembering continually how rich Georgia is
in natural resources and how rapidly Atlanta real es
tate values are enhancing.
And remember—
Business is good.
