The advantages and possibilities of Wash
ington as healthful and popular summer
resort are exceeded by no other town in
the state. The opportunities for obtaining
vast and magnificent views of the sur
rounding country from our hills are rarely
equaled anywhere. From the elevation To-
Gated near the center of the town, on land
owned by Daniel P. Smith, the eye COM
mands beautiful combination picture of
| Ndllty, TlNeT anu glen IOT many
miles around. The Green Mountains are
lovely in their heavenly blue on the one
side and the White Mountains loom up,
grand and picturesque, on the other. At
our feet nestles the village of Washington,
while on all sides are brooks and streams
alive with speckled trout, and smooth high
ways lead in all directions. No fewer than
nine streams have their source in these
hills, some flowing into the Connecticut
and others emptying into the White and
Winooski rivers. The air is pure, breezy
and bracing, and one cannot but wonder
why some enterprising Yankee has not be-
fore this late day discovered this wonderful
| combination OF advantages and transformed
1t into a summer resort. New Hampshire
or New York have few locations so charm
ing, and, once!tested by the city tourist, it
could not fail for want of patronage.
