coming. Savannah business men
pledged 100000 to be devoted to
advertising that city's advantages as
a port, of which $4,000 will be ex-
pended through the Advertise Geor-
gia Enterprise, in advertising Geor-
gia as a whole, the remainder being
used for an independent advertising
campaign. The Georgia Bankers
Association have given their endorse
ment to the enterprise.
Hearty approval of the plan has
been given by E. T. Meredith, Unit
ed States Secretary of Agriculture,
in letter to the general chairman,
in which Secretary Meredith congrat-
ulated Georgia upon its enterprise.
October has been proclaimed "Ad-
vertise Georgia Month" by Governor
Dorsey, and it is during that month
that the active work of raising the
100000 fund is to be carried on.
However, so great has been the in
terest indicated, that it is expected
the entire sum will be subscribed
within the firts week. Many coun-
ties, through their commissioners,
will subscribe the county quota from
the treasury.
In the meantime, the Advertise
Georgia Enterprise, is carrying on
a campaign to show "home folks"
what a really wonderful state they
have to advertise. One of the meth
DDS being used is the "Know Geor-
gia" series of motion pictures, which
will be exhibited in September and
Octob<r in every town in Georgia
which boasts a motion pucture thea
tire. This series of films, totaIling
10000 feet, shows scenes in every
section of the state, with historical
places, the use of modern agricul-
tural methods, natural resources,
state institutions, and thousands of
matters of interest found in q COM

Advertise Georgia Fund to Pay
Real Dividend To Investors
Bringing In More Population And Wealth Means
More Prosperity Dorsey To Be Here
Monday

the efforts of the Georgia Associa-
ton, which for some years has been
devoting its attention to the devel-
opment and advertising of Georgia
lands, and the Advertising Clubs OF
Georgia, city organizations which are
members of the Associated Advertis-
ing Clubs of the World. 1t was or
ganized at series of conferences in
the state capitol, where its head
quarters are now located, and the
governor of the state was made its
official head. It's plan has so ar
ranged that all funds will be expend-
ed under official direction and APP
prevail, and accounts audited just
as are those of other state institu-
tions.
1t is proposed to raise, through
public subscription and otherwise, a
fund of 100000, to be devoted to
campaign of advertising Georgia
in the big national magazines, farm
journals and other mediums. A large
part of this fund is to be reserved for
a "follow-up system" continuing
for three years, by which inquiries
from interested persons will be taken
up and the seeker of a new home
be put in touch with the county or
CARNATIONS which have land to offer.
1t is contemplated that each county
will have its own organization or
bureau which will assist in looking
after that county's interests.
That many thousands of farmers
in other states, especially in the Mid
die West and West, are anxious to
find new lands in better climates is
well known. Thousands of such
farmers are moving every year. The
majority are going into Southern
California, which has no advantage
over Georgia and which cannot equal
Georgia in several respects, because
California has had the advantage IF
advertising through the great fruit
growing companies and other inter
ests. Western Canada, too is begin
ming to spend $1,5O0,O00 IN an ad-
vertising campaign to attract Ameri-
can farmers to her lands.
The 100000 fund is to be raised
through county quota system, each
county's quota being based on her
taxable values and total land acre
age. The quota of the counties in
this agricultural district is:
Savannah to Spend.
In several parts of the state as
surance has been given that the
quota, and more, will easily be forth

Georgia's new enterprise of bring
ing thousands of new citizens to buy
and cultivate the undeveloped and
idle lands in this state, increasing
the agricultural production and
swelling the total of the states prop
erty values and therefore the states
income, is to be explained by Gov
ernor Hugh NJ Dorsey, who is gen.
eral chairman of the enterprise, in
an address to be delivered in Ameri-
Gus on September 20. The meeting
will be held at the court house or
city hall at 200 p. M, and num-
Der of prominent citizens of this and
adjoining counties who have become
thoroughly interested in the project
will make brief addresses. Special
invitations have been extended to
men of affairs in this agricultural
district and many citizens from other
towns are expected to attend the
meeting, which will be open to the
public.
The governors talk will be confn-
ed to the work of the Advertise
Georgia Enterprise" which is an Of
ficial organization of the state and
endorsed by the House of Represen-
tatives in a resolution unanimously
passed. The men who have organic
ed and who are carrying through
this enterprise, with the governor as
general chairman, are stressing the
fact, also, that it designed to benefit
every county in Georgia and the state
as a whole, and not any particular
city, county or section.
he Advertise Georgia Enterprise
has created more interest throughout
the state than any public movement
since the first days of the world war,
for it is realized that this enter
prise does not involve gifts from the
public but investments which are ex-
pected to bring direct and handsome
returns. Leading men in Georgia
bankers, merchants, farmers and
business men Of all lines-know that
greater population is the key to
greater prosperity, and that the COM
NJ of new citizens, bringing new
capital, new energy and new enter
Prise to Georgia will be of incalcula-
BE benefit to the state. There is no
county which has not inducements
to offer such new corners, and every
county is to be given opportunity,
through the Advertise Georgia En-
terprise, to set forth its claims to the
hOme-seeker's attention.
