Hendersonville is undoubtedly
the most accessible town in the
mountains of Western North Car
olina, for summer visitors. By
the present lines of travel, it is
nearer Charlotte and tributary
points, Charleston, Columbia, Sa-
vannah, Atlanta and all points
south and west than any other
considerable town in Western
North Carolina. AS these places
and the country surrounding them
together with. the great south
west are the points from which
most of the summer visitors to
the mountains come, it can read
ily be seen what great advantages
Hendersonville possesses in this
respect.
Hendersonville is both a center
and a gateway to all of Western
North Carolina. It is the first

Hendersonville is unsurpassed by
that of any other town or city in
the Southern Appalachian Range.
The town is 225O feet above sea
level and near the center of an
extensive plateau. 1t has not
the inconvenience of being crowd
ed in among the hills with mar
row streets and unsightly hollows
to the back of the houses; but is

river. Fourteen to eighteen miles

important town reached from the
south and is the natural stopping
place for people visiting the
mountains. 1t also is easily ac-
cessible from all points in West
ern North Carolina. It is at the
head of the Pennsylvania railroad
leading to the famous Toxaway
Lake and the Sapphire country,
which are easily and quickly
reached from it. Asheville,
Waynesville, and all other noted
resorts are within a few hours
ride.
The climate of Hendersonville

Cardinals cool in summer, mild
in winter. But Hendersonville
possesses peculiar advantages of
climate over nearby points, which
will fully appear from the article

this issue.

is Biltmore, the Vanderbilt estate
