THOMAS COUNTY Within its borders Thortias County has nine hustling towns and cities. This proves con clusively to you that Thomas County has the necessary "backbone", for towns and cities do not thrive on deserts. You'll investigate Thomas County and come with us if you are a wide-awake, thrifty human being and seeking op portunity. The human race never had a more God+given opportunity than in Thomas County, the leader of all South west Georgia. Thomas Coun ty has gold mines for those who will work; nothing but sand beds for the indolent.
THOMASVILLE Thomasville is the county seat of Thomas County, Georgia, located J> in the Southwest section of that state on the Florida state line. It has - an approximate population, 1915 estimate, of 12,500; a property valua tion of about $6,000,000.00; a councilmanic form of city government; 350 feet above sea level; an attractive tourist resort for the winter months and the center of a growing manufacturing district in addition to being the pivotal point for the best agricultural section in Southern Georgia. Thomasville and Thomas County are served by three lines of rail way, namely, the Atlantic Coast Lines; Atlanta, Birmingham & Atlan tic and the Georgia Northern. These railroads serve this territory through six separate lines radiating in all directions and making satis factory connections with all parts of the country. With three hotels Thomasville is able to entertain large numbers of visitors. The accommodations in this respect are as good as can be found in cities of like size elsewhere in the United States. Many first class boarding and rooming houses serve a clientele of tourists and others regularly. Points of interest in Thomasville include the Vashti Home for Girls; Alien Normal School for Negroes; the "Big Oak"; various monu ments and public buildings; winter estates of Messrs. J. F. Archbold, H. M. Hanna, Col. 0. H. Payne, J. H. Wade. Frank Billings, H. K. Dev- ereux, C. M. Chapin, Coburn Haskell, and a dozen others of the wealth iest people of the United States. The city and county are noted for their wonderful climatic invita tion to the tourist. Temperatures in winter rarely go below the freez ing point and in summer seldom reach 90 degrees and always a cool tempering breeze prevails. The fall frost average is November 15th, while the last frost in the spring is scheduled for March 10th as an average. Visit Thomasville and Thomas County! You'll like both! Write the Commercial Association, L. C. Busch, Secretary, Thomasville, Ga., for facts and figures. THOMASVILLE Of course you know about Thomasville! To refresh your memory however, we inform you that she still is Southwest Georgia's commercial leader. Perhaps it has never been your good fortune to visit Thomas ville. If so, you owe yourself the trip. While you'll find here the earmarks of the non- progressive, they have become so indistinct so as to be almost unrecognizable. You'll find though that the onward march of the city has been promoted with greater seal in the past two years than formerly. Thomasville wants live, energetic folks.
