NEW WINTER RESORT,
SEASON t9O5-fDO6
The Beautiful Sapphire Country.

To the man whose imagination is
fed with facts and fortified with OBJ
servation, the southern portion of
the United States will always seem
the favorite child of Omnipotence
and its dmaiden--Nature. Prac-
tically every resource that ministers
to the wealth and greatness of a peo-
pie has been lavlshly placed within
its borders.
Though the Creator of this fun
bosomed magnificence dwells neither
here nor there-but everywhere
we like, i'm an reverence. to call
these Southern States indeed God 3
country" One who knows the south
rsalizes how, after material gifts
had been so generously bestowed.
he designing power completed its
work by dotting it literally With
hose imperative auxiliaries of mod
ern yilization-resorts, summer
and winter. In the case of the
South these resorts have proven not
only protectors of our peoples
health; they are adding now and
they will add substantially in the
future to our actual wealth.
The Florida resorts need no de
tailed eulogy at this date. They
have won already thousands of
wealthy Northerners and Southern
ers from the lure of the European
spa or the call of the Riviera. A
more wonderful conquest, and one
which should interest the entire
South, is that of the radiant Sap
phire country, that Eden of the
North Carolina mountains, with
which the word "Toxaway" has be-
come inseparably identified. It's
beauties and its health-compelling
qualities have been open to civiliZa-
ton for only few years, relatively;
vet "Toxaway" means to host of
Southern and Northern people to-
day recreation and recuperation
under conditions as ideal as can be,
arranged by the o-partnershipasC
man and Nature. ~ VI

with bears here and there and ooca-
slonally quail. The three lakes, IKE
shimmering sapphires splashed down
in the heart of the mountains, with
the winding forest roads, create in
dellible impressions OF the place.
With the opening of the winter
season Toxaway Inn-the greatest
of all the Toxaway resorts-am-
nounces itself ready for business for
the approaching season after having
completed the most successful sum

Southern resorts.
From this time on this institution
becomes not only summer but a
winter resort, appealing 20 the South
in the summer and to the north in
the winter. II is on the direct line
of travel from eastern and western

to catch the business as II goes TO

who stop to take in the beauties Of
the Toxaway country will be amply
compensated, for in the matter of
scenic attractions there is nothing
