much to encourage and make them proud.
In the past years the entire country has gone through
a terrific readjustment.
Many states face impaired credit their banks have

sibc point of comparison with previous values
Some gave up and only struggling back to normal

Some fought every inch of the way and with pros
pe1y around the corner find themselves able take avant

Among these latter find Georgia for, in the fol-
lowing message permanent reward for all the hardship that
has bcsct financial way that gives heart and
allows go ahead with plans for splendid future for the
Empire State of the South. ~
According to T. r. Bennett superintendent Of the State
Banking Department. legitimate development and investments
in Georgia need be restrained through lack of immediate
funds He said that in New York financial circles Georgas
credit ranks high that Of the Union and Gcor
gia financial institutions have the highest rating New York.
Mr. Bennett has just returned from through
the East and stated that NEW YORK BANKERS LOOK ON
GEORGIA AS ONE OF THE SOLID STATES OF THE
SOUTH and be their opinion that Georgia has passed
through the period Of financial and with record
to attract attention of financial leaders everywhere
He continued that New Workers pleased the ai-
ude OF Georgia relative to the liquidation of of dcunct
banks Many OF the creditor banks New ork and they
pleased that attempt discriminate against outside
creditors had been shown That result of this these banks
willing to the limit in adjusting the affairs of quidated
banks order that there will be unnecessary loss the
