mended for securing the money needed. The

Within one year, despite the hard times,
many handsome residences will be erected on
the lands of the Savannah Real Estate Loan
and Building Company. People who build will
have homes in the pleasantest part of Savannah,
and those who hold for speculation will be ena-
bled to double their money, These lands are the
best to be had. They are not the best on the
market, because others are holding off for
higher prices, but because there are none better
in Chatham county or the City of Savannah.
They have been long neglected on account of
the difficulty of getting to them. This difficulty
has been removed. Land like this overlooking
the City of Atlanta sells for thousands of dol
