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.
