THE BEST INVESTMENT.
Augustus Real Estate Paying Hand
GOmeIy.

somely.
.. From the AsS4stai (Ga.l Ohroafcle.
That Augusta is The best situated and
the most beautiful city in the South is
undoubtedly an established fact, and all
Augusta wants is that her citizens would
expatiate on the advantages and beau
ties of our city, the bright future that is
before US, and the advantages we have
over our neIghbOrs, instead of continual
crOaking and depreciating the advan-
tages we possess by making reckless
statements that are unfounded, and that
tend to depreciate property in our beau
tiiul city that Is bound to foarish and
prosper. --
The above is written because OF a re-
mark overheard by the Chronicles stey.
erywhere man" in contradiction of
the article in Yesterdays edition In re.
gard to real estate, and In which we
clearly showed that the real estate was a
good investment, and the following facts
bear us out:
Two gentlemen were passing building
that Is quite an ornament to the city, and
one of them said: ''There, now, is an ex.
ample. Thatproperty don'tpay over two
per cent"
The remark might have gone uncontra-
dicted, for no one around knew to the con-
u
who Is always alive to Augustus inter-
ests, ana said: 81 don't know what the
property pays, but will guarantee that
there are very few bonds or stocks that
will pay IA much"
Hearing the Chronicles article dis
puted, and being anxious to prove that it
was right, the reporter gained such In
formation as will prove, not only the po-
siJion we took as to the value of real
estate, but also that Augusta real estate
is by far better Investment than
the best security that can be purchased.
The building alluded to by the gentle
men is valued at $50, 600; per cent. on this
would be $2,100, and the total income
from the property is $4,000, less actual
taxes, Insurance., etc., 1920, leaving net
income of $2, 240. So 1t IS seen that the
property actually pays III per cent. per
annum net to the owner, after taxes and
insurance are paid. By comparison, 224
shares of Georgia railroad stock will pay
annually $2,240, which is worth to-day
$4,000, while the above real estate Is
worth $1,000
So, from above, IL is clearly seen that
by an investment OF $4,000 In real estate
one can get more interest than by an in
vestment Of $4,000 In most any kind Of
security.
