Atlanta's Advertising
Brings Big Results

Atlanta, Gait has been proven
that proper advertising is not only
needful for private business but that
it will build city or state if han
died properly.
A few months ago Atlanta raised
budget of $25O,OO0 to be used in
bringing industries to this city. This
was quite huge sum to be tossed
out into the world as so much bait,
but it paid handsome dividend
Within four months 48 industries
were located in this city as a result of
the campaign with payrolls of ST.
100000 and an average of $500 per-
sons have been pouring into Atlanta
every month since the campaign
started.
Besides this, more than 1000 in
quiries have been received regarding
conditions in Atlanta. Doubtless
many of these inquirers will be in
duced to come to this city. The eff
feet of the campaign put new life in
the industries already here and the
payrolls have been increased and bus
mess in general given new life.

The Richest Nation
In the World

American dollars now encircle the
earth.
From a debtor nation twenty years
ago we have become creditor ma
ton, with a staggering balance on
our side of the ledger. The war was
responsible.
Little short of twenty-five billion
American dollars have gone to help
finance other governments, private
railroads, utilities, mining, oil, steam
ships, sugar and fruit companies,
great factories in foreign countries.
Late figures estimate that $12, 151,-
100000 cover the war loans, $685.
100000 loans to foreign govern
ments, $5,25O,OOO, 900 invested in
foreign businesses, and $1,000,0OO,-
900 short-term foreign loans.
What effect will this dollar domi-
nance have on mankind? Some pre-
dict that America will surely control
world trade, that American methods
and money will coyer the globe. 9th
ers predict that it may bring a great
er war.
Time alone will tell.

Dear Homer

OF course they didn't get anything
much that amounted to anything, ex-
cept your Uncle John Greenberry' S
bretches, he had three or four dollars
and seventy-fice cents in his pocket,
he found them this morning down
by the turkey pen with the pockets
turned rong side out, the money gone.
Iour Uncle Benny grabbed his old
shot gun and poked it out the win
dow and shot both barrels, and it
kicked back in the room and broke
fourty dollar mirror, and this
15aornin' we found hundred dollar
Cow, stretched out on the ground
dead. He done more damage than
the buglars did.
| wanted to take the batlin stick
and frail him good, but of course he
was so excited that he didn't know
what he was doin', and I reckon we
will jest haft to look over him. am
mighty Uneasy about him, for fear he
will be sick. You no he is nifty frail
and CANT stand much excitement.
Your Uncle John Greenberry said
it was a good thing he coulden't find
his pistol. I told him I reckoned it
was, they would have tuck it to. so
I will close fer this time.

BAND OF BURGLARS
VISIT CITY SATURDAY
SEVERAL. HOMES ENTERED BUT
HAUL WAS VERY LIGHT
: TRAIL LOST BY HOUNDS.

A band eff burglars made a raid
upon the city Saturday morning, en-
tering a number of homes on West
Pine, Magnolia and South Lee
streets, but secured only small sums
of money, the total not being above
$4,000, from reports made to the po-
lice department
The burglars were reported to
have entered the homes of Mr.. and
Mrs. Nelson on Pine and Longstreet;
Mr.. and Mrs. F. r. Justice, across the
way; Mr.. A. Kratz, on w. Magnolia;
Mr.. John Reddick, on W. Pine, and
attempted entries in several other
places.
Several phone calls brought the
night police to the scene of operation
but though they secured the hounds
from the convict farm, trace of the
burglars was lost, the hounds follow
ing their trail as far as the north
eastern corner of the city, where the
parties are supposed to have taken TO
their conveyance and made their get

GEORGIA BANK SITUATION
GOOD, SAYS NELLBORN

Atlanta, CAN. 3. Wellborn, gov.
ernor of the Atlanta Federal Reserve
bank, states that the closing of IS
banks in Georgia is not due to pres
ent economic conditions in this state
and that the outlook for Georgia is
the best in years.
"None of the banks that have
closed their doors are members of the
federal reserve SYSTEM" he said,
"and none of them are on our par
collection list.
GAS / see it, their closing cannot
be attributed to present economic con-
'ditions in Georgia. A thing apart
from that has caused them to close.
Nor do I believe that the result of
these failures will cause any serious
trouble in business circles dependent
upon banking accommodations, for
there are ample banking facilities in
Georgia to take care of all necessary
demands.
SIT Is a well-known fact, and one
frequently commented upon, that
there are too many small banks in
Georgia. In fact, the state Is over
banked.
II think the outlook for Georgia
this year is bette rthan it has been
in years"
His utterance, following a state
ment issued by the Georgia state
banking department to the effect that
the banking situation in Georgia is
"sounder than it has been since the
period of deflation following the
war;" has met with optimistic COM
ment here from bankers and business
men.
