When the Atlanta, Birmingham and
Atlantic Railroad changed it's right

suit of a contract with the Southern
Railway, the Southern Investment
Company leased from the A, B. & A.
the railroad frontage it was to have
used, and It is upon this tract that
the three splendid service tracks,
Jointly controlled by the two systems,
are located.
1t was a specific part of the lease
contract that the Southern Invest
ment Company should at once erect
a siX-story concrete building on a
part of its property, a lot $50 by
1915, fronting on Nelson street and
these service tracks. Work on this
building will begin January /. Ten
ants for 1t already have been OBJ
tanned.
Splendid Shipping Facilities.
From the three service tracks 1t is
possible to start carload of freight
to reach any point in the United
States, Canada or Mexico
But this property presents other
advantages from the standpoint of
the manufacturer and shipper, almost
too many to enumerate. 1t Is right
in the heart Of the city, in the thick
of the rapidly filling up Terminal
district, from which can be seen at
a sweeping glance more than $50
100000 worth of Atlanta business
property.
1t has quick street car service and
employees residence sections are
close at hand. 1t Is but few hun
dred yards from the team tracks of
the Atlanta, Birmingham and Allan
tic and the Southern Railway, also
the Central of Georgia; the main ex-
press office and parcel post stations
at the Terminal are less than five
minutes away, where, after working
right up to train time, the busy man
can reach his train for almost any
point.
1t is downhill all the way from this
property into the heart of the city,
making wagon deliveries easy, and it
is close to the old Southern depot.
where there will soon be laid out one
OF the most extensive systems of team
tracks in the city, furnishing space
for 2S5 cars with 4S-foot driveways
between the tracks.
These are a few of the splendid
advantages in connection with the
Stocks property.
