What an Investment in
the Company to Develop
and Sell Silver Lake Es
tates Will Mean!
Tile following is reprinted from a former announcement, for
there is no other way of telling these simple facts.
One matter, however, may be added and emphasized—the
greater part of this stock has been sold. Immediate action is
necessary if you are interested. ,
Silver Lake Estates must strongly
appeal to the careful and conserva
tive investor, and to the young man
to whom safety as well as substantial
return is an important factor.
Let us take, for the sake of Illus
tration, tlie purchase of ten shares of
stock—though, of course, you are at
liberty to purchase as much more
than ten shares as you wish. For ten
shares, amounting to 11,000, which we
take as the unit basis, you pay $200
cash and $200 each year thereafter for
four years, in monthly, quarterly or
semi-annual payments.
Conservatively estimated, the re
turns from your $1,000 investment will
be (1) a land dividend, consisting of
a lot of your selection in Silver Lake
Estates worth $1,000: (2) $3,000 in
cash profits from the sale of the re
mainder of the property, and (3) the
return of your original investment,
making a total of $5,000 for your
$1,000 interest.
How can this be done, you ask?
Here is the way:
There are in Silver Lake Estates,
by actual survey, 113,500 feet of front
age, from which must be deducted for
parks and playgrounds 22,000 feet,
leaving net residence frontage of 91,-
000 feet.
Purchased and developed at a total
cost to the company of $500,000, Sil
ver Lake Estates, ready for home
building, will bring orr the market at
present prices a total of more than
$2,500,000, or $5 for every dollar put
into It. That it will do tills can not
be questioned; -we know it from ex
perience.
That is the plan In a nutshell. Can
you conceive of a more satisfactory, a
more substantial investment? Re
call, if you will, these excerpts from
Governor Slaton's letter:
‘ There Is no tract I know of any
where which, with the improvements
proposed, will combine more desira
ble qualities for residence purposes
than does Silver Lake.
“Silver Lake Estates has in it all
the possibilities of an ideal homo sec
tion, and there is no doubt many At
lantans will want to live there.”
This from Hon. Hoke Smith:
"There is no more beautiful place
for suburban residences than thsland
surrounding Silver Lake.
"The location thero of the Ogie-
thorpe University should prove an
additional reason for malting a so
ciety of culture and refinement,”
