renowned as a health resort. But few

The number of homes that are being
built in the city at all times of the year
is Il matter Of surprise to those visitors
who do not know that many people who
come to Asheville to remain a few
months become permanent residents.
This fact speaks more forcibly than any
language as to the attractiveness of this
city as both summer and winter re-
sort. The number of visitors is in
creasing each year, and is about equally
divided between the North and the
South. This steady increase is sufficient
