new WINTER RESORT
SEASON l9O5.l9O6
Southern Portion Of United StatGS---
Beautiful Sapphire Country.

To the man whose imaginations is
fed with facts and fortified with obser-
walton, the southern portion Of the
United States will always seem the
favorite child Of omnipotence and its
handmaiden-N Nature. Practically
every resource that ministers TO the
wealth and greatness Of people has
been lavishly placed within its borders.
Through the Creator of this full-bos-
omed magnifcence dwell neither here
nor there-but every where-we like,
in all reverence, to call these South
ern states indeed Gods country" One
who knows the south realizes how,
after material gifts have been so gener-
ously bestowed, the designing power
completed its work by dotting it liber-
ally with those imperative auxiliaries
Of modern civilization-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 sub
stantially in the future to our actual
wealth.
The Florida resorts need no detailed
eulogy at this date. They have won
already thousands Of wealthy North
erners and Southerners from the lure
Of the European spa or the call Of the
Riviera. A more wonderful conquest,
and one which should interest the en-
tire South, is that Of the radiant Sap
hire county, that Eden OF the north
Carolina mountains. with which the
word "Toxaway" has become insepra-
bly, identified. Its beauties and its
health-compelling qualities have been
open TO civilization for only a few years
relatively; yet "Toxaway" means to a
host Of Southern and Northern people
today recreation and recuperation
under conditions as ideal as can be
4 arranged by the copartnership Of man
4 and Nature.
The six hotels under the management
I, Of the Toxaway Hotel Company, with
!. Mr.. ]. c. Burrowes at its head, have
+, been instrumental in this rapid achieve
4 ment The Sapphire country itself has
done the rest. The hostelries have
been artfully located, getting the wide
benefits which come from attitudes
ranging from $3.50 to l,7S0 feet. The
far-reaching estate OF Toxaway com
q prises 81, 900 acres. in which are more
+ than seyenty-fiye miles Of brook anC

splashed down in the heart Of th'

the place.
