GOLF AN AID
TO SOUTHERN
LAND SALES

MIAMI. Fla. March 12.-Southern
1fl capitalists have found a new
scheme 20 use golf TO advantage.
Golf has come so fast In the last
10 years that It's devotees are num-
bered in the mllliona
When a golf enthusiast figures on
building or buying home he imne-
diately gives thought as 90 the golf
accommodations IN his locality.
Therein lies the big idea OF South
ern capitalists who have invested
their money in real estate. Turnout
the South. Florida in particular.
when some big real estate venture Is
planned involving millions OF dollars.
the location OF golf course is given
first consideration.
In Miami three big allotments
have been plotted in the last two
years Each boasts a beautiful golf
course that is completed and being
used. despite the fact that many
other features OF the allotment are
Just being started.
In the South realtors work on the
theory that men in position to pay
big prices for real estate must have
their golf. The idea is getting great
results in the South.
