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.
