Georgia’s Business
Outlook Good
Georgia’s business ottlook is
more encouraging than it has
been in forty years in the opin
ion'of Mills B, Lane, head of
the Citizens aud Southern Bank,
and an outstanding figure in the
business life of the nation, - who
artived in Atlanta last Tuesday,
Sept 14th, after a motor trip in
to practically every section -of
the state, said a dispatch to the
Morning News last Tuesday,
‘‘Geneeal conditions are bet
ter right now,’”” Mr. Lane said
‘‘and prospects are more encour
aging than I ever saw before in
my life. Business is good.
There is a strong undercurrent
of confidence among the people.
Fine crops have been made all
over the state and there is plen:
ty of money in circulaton.
What else is there to be desired?
A statement of this nature
from a man of the caliber of Mr
Lane says .}t dispatch, is caleu
lated to go a long way toward
stimulating scattered local un
rest may exsistin the state.
Coming on the eve of fall and
fol.owing certain financial diffi
culties which might have caused
uneasiness to persons not in
close touch with business con
ditions and without any know
ledge of the soundness and the
fine economic outlook, its im
portanee eannot be overemphas
ized, A
Mr. Lane Jest Savannah sev
eral days azo with his three sons
for. _.Q:;,',,- trip which took him
pAP lAt ,-%‘1,_;,»:,; He will TeaVe
Atlanta Wednesday for Augusta
and then come on to Savannah
later in the week. ~ '
. *“] decided on the automebile
trip,”” Mr. Lane said, ‘‘because
I-want to educate my boys and 1
want to give them first a know
ledge of what a .big -and great
state is Georgia.”
Perhaps no other man in the
country has as good an insight
or a firmer grasp of conditions
in this section than Mr. Lane,
continues the dispatch. 1 hhas
studied condiaions and knows
the situation at all times. Hence
his opinion is that an authorty
of a man well versed in every
phase of activity that goes into
the making of business, trade,
marketing and other business.
. “*Farmers are going after the
production rather t“an the acre-‘
age,’”” Mr. Lane declared, “and
are finding out that econcmy of
production rest entirely in in
tensive cultivation—the getting
'of more from the acre. The les
‘'son of business in farming has
been Jearned, and that means
that we are to have a_ balanced}
program and that money crops
'are being harvested and market
ed as a net sueplus.”” ‘
Recently in a'lengthy inter:
view in New York and ome
which 'was' 'wia'ely -commented
upon, ‘Mr! Lane referred to cons
ditions in Georgia and through
out ' the ‘Southeast, as ‘‘more
promising than in sevefrl de
‘caded, ard 'of 'a sound and
hedlthy Kind.” -He ‘said thar
from- disésvery of Flerida by
Plant’and Flagler; Georgia and
other ‘Southedstern 'cities have
been rediscovered, and that the
white seetion ‘is like a mnew
country.” -
