Consider Atlanta 

 Perhaps It's There You Ought to Build 



H 



ERE are the facts. We will get you a 

 lot more if you want them. 



Just came back from a two weeks' trip 

 through the South. 



Went to look th€ Southern Field over 

 and find out if it was so that the South is 

 so prosperous. It's so. 



Went straight from New York to 

 Atlanta, and then on to New Orleans, stop- 

 ping at Birmingham, Meridian, Jackson and 

 numerous smaller places. Prom New Or- 

 leans went to Mobile, Pensacola, Jackson- 

 ville and down the east coast of Klorida and 

 into the heart of the orange groves. Then 

 back again to Atlanta by way of Savannah. 



Atlanta looks to me like a mighty good 

 place to build; especially for vegetables. 

 It's far enough north so you won't be 

 bothered by the swarm of insect pests, 

 which are such a hindrance in Florida.! 



'Climatically, it is right for raising two 

 inside crops, which is not practical farther 



south. Average temperature for the win- 

 ter months is never below .^2 degrees, mak- 

 ing heating costs low. 



It is but a short haul from the Birming- 

 ham coal section, making fuel costs low. It 

 is within practical shipping distances from 

 all the main large markets, as the map 

 above shows. 



In talking with the owners of one of the 

 largest ranges in the South, they declared 

 that Atlanta is the ideal southern loca- 

 tion. In fact, they are talking of selling 

 out and building an up-to-date range there. 



It is also rumored that one of the big 

 western growers is doing some scout work 

 with the same thing in mind. As a matter 

 of fact, I was just a day behind his trail. 



Whether you are a southerner or north- 

 erner, think these facts over. Perhaps you 

 are losing a good bet. 



Any further information you want, don't 

 hesitate to write us.
