health-giving that it has become known
the world over as q natural sanitarium
for the cure of all troubles of q pull
monary or bronchial nature.
Asheville, the centre of this beauti-
full mountain hemmed plateau, is the
highest city east of Denver, and is q
busy thriving place of 1900 iuh abb
tants, with all the modernisns of city
life. The city lies just at the point
where the beautiful French Broad
and Swanpauoa rivers Join their crys-
tai waters.
Within the city or in its suburbs
many people of wealth have built beau.
tiful and expensive homes, most
notable among them being the chateau
of Mr.. George w. Vanderbilt, which
with its great estate, has cost upwards
of four million dollars.
Asheville is an all-the-yesr resort,
for the great mountains protect it in
