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. EDWIN P. ANSLEY 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.

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. >;••• :p. u - -
