Former FitzgeraIdite
Writes OF City.
Mr.. Editor:

AS property owner and for
mer citizen of Fitzgerald, | am
impressed with the location,
growth and substantialness of the
city more than ever before. You
have absolutely one or the best
farming communities linked with
as fine climate as any one could
wish. You have railroads leading
out in almost every direction,
splendid roads which affords the
autoist with pleasure and the farm
er with the best transportation for
his crops, you have splendid
school facilities and some beauti-
full church edi6ces; factories and
the Railroad shops with as many
small industries as any town of
Fitzgerald's size Gf not more);
you have as good banking facili-
ties as could be had. The city is
we'll equipped with fire apparatus,
sewer, water works with the best
water in the SOUTH and now with
your beautiful paved streets and
white way which out strips all
other public Improvements you
have done, yet your property
values are not what they should
be.
To my opinion the only trouble
is this; you are not trying to get
new people and moneyto come in.
Ii you want to thrive in bush
ness aud cause your property to
increase, if you want your children
to Inherit good business and valu-
able property, you must reach out
after more people, more industries
and new blood. You are about
through sending away hundreds of
thousands of dollars for material
for public improvements as you
have been dong since the city was
started and if you will go to work
ard let the people elsewhere know
what you have and get the peo-
pie who want to make change
started your way, your busl-
ness and property values will in
crease. This can be done by adj
vertising extensively only. Go to
the Land Shows of Chicago and
New York, take the things out of
the fields; show the people what
can be raised, tell them of your
climate, schools and churches and
show them where they can make
more money and improve their
condition. Why how came the
most of you here if it were not
for advertisingg Georgia will no
doubt have building at San Fran
cisco in 1915 and if Fitzgerald
would 60 there telling about its
opportunities and those of Ben
Hill County do you suppose they
would ALL 60 to other cities? To-
day is the day of building many
new cities and communities and
the place that sits still and makes
no effort to get new people, gets
70 industries and business lags in
stead of being on the jump.
Get your money to advertise,
tell the stranger what you have
and let no man knock when the
new man comes to town and you
will soon swing this well started
city into line with all other pro-
gressive places. 1t can be done
by concerted action, but YOU can't |
do it if you sit down and wait.
