Mr. Robert Maddox said a few weeks ago:
“Georgia is the most prosperous State in the Union to-day,
nd Georgia people should take advantage of this opportunity to
'"vest their profits, not in this, that and the other thing which
ma y perish or deteriorate in value, but should invest it to a large
degree in real estate.”
Mr. Maddox also said: “The hank clearings of Atlanta
i1a ve showed an increase of $1,000,000 per week for the last
e 'ght weeks.”
Mr. Maddox is a man who is constantly “behind the gun"*
°l finance, railroadism, the interests of Atlanta and this section.
What he says is like “potted” wisdom.
