"Can | Afford to
Buy Real
Estate?"
G5GgE5E5EJE5GSE5E5Eg

IAN you expect to be considered as one of
~ the substantial citizens of your commu-
nitv when you do not own any real es-
tate? Real estate has such body and per-
nanent worth to it that ones financial stand
ing is largely based on the amount of real es-
tate that he owns. Ownership of real estate
is probably the highest commentary upon
a man 'sworth as citizen.
IAN you say in truth that north Fulton
- County acreage has reached its limit in
value? Even if you suspect it, your appre-
tensions are not founded on facts Everything
points to higher values and remarkable growth
during the coming years.
IAN you say acreage tracts ranging from
~ 4 to IA acres, near Silver Lake, are not
well located? If you doubt it then you
depreCiate the influence of magnificent homes,
clubhouses nacadamized driveways and the
effect of improvements that come with more
people, more wealth and ambition for devel-
Opment.
IAN you say that the terms are hard?
~ hundred dollars cash and ten dollars per
month will buy some of these tracts. The
terms fixed on all of them is One-tenth cash
and the balance extending over a period of
five years.
IAN you say that you are not able to buy
- one OF them! Ii you do, you doubt your
own ability and depreciate your own Ca
pacity. Any man with muscle and brain that
God has endowed him with, however hard his
lot may seem to have been, is capable of buy
ing one of these tracts.
TANyou afford to miss this chance? Quite
~ a number of these tracts have been sold.
There are others unsold that are Just as
desirable and have the value in them relatively
just as much as any of those that have been
sold
