State Of the South, is already truly

business of the Greater Georgia Asso
citation to make it still greater one
Few movements have ever been
| launched that meant so much for
Georgia as this concerted effort on
the part of its citizens for state-de-
velopment and state advertisement.
Georgia is the largest state in the
union east of the Mississippi river.
1t has population at present of
about two and one-half million peo-
pie. Its resources have hardly been
touched, and it could support pop
ulation five times that number with
ease.
An empire in itself, Georgia
stretches from the temperate to the
semi-trOpic zone and in it's fertile
fields are grown practically all the
fruits, vegetables and staples that are
found on American farms. 1t has its
ocean ports, its wide tracts Of rich
farm lands, its large orchard areas,
where the most famous peaches in
the world are grown, it's mountains
rich with minerals and metals, its
great timber resources, its mighty
water-powers furnished Nature to
turn the wheels of industry, and an
Industrial investment already tremen-
dons. 1t has, probably, the greatest
variety of climate of any state in the
union, ranging from the temperature
of the Appalachian mountains to the
cline of the South Atlantic coast.
Georgia is truly a great a wonder

made marvelously greater Its adj

times remarkable. Georgians, with
faith in their state, are showing their
faith by their works. And in the

substantial results therefrom, the
outside world is teing invited to par
ticipate.
What Georgia is. what Georgia can
be, what Georgia will be-these are
| the things that the association recent
~ formed wishes to impress on the
worlds mind in its pleasant but re-
sponsible work of Introducing the
rest of creation to Georgia.
