approximately $2,000,0O0 of the
total represents investments in the
Southeast by people of other sections,

"The continued establishing of new
business enterprises of many kinds
reflects the great variety of undevelop-
ed resources in the Southeast, as well
as the regard in which this section is
held as a place for investment.
People who reside here, and know
the conditions invest their money in
the Southeast and investment seekers
of other sections find that the condi-
tons here are inviting to them.
"And in the meantime the great
Southeast is prosperous and making
steady progress.
Some of the items of construction
