THE GROVE
PARK INN
Finest Resort Hotel in the World
Amid Mountain Surroundings
That Are Inspiring and
Invigorating.

Mr.. E. W. Grove, of ST. Louis,
Mo-, has built at Asheville, n. O.,
the finest resort hotel in the world
Grove Park Inn-which was
opened July II, 1913, and is oper-
ated all the year round 1t is alb
solutely freproof, built of the
great boulders Of Sunset Noun
tain, at the foot Of which it sits.
It was built by hand in the old
fashioned way-full Of rest, COM
fort and wholesomeness. The front
lawn is the hundred and twenty
acre eighteen-hole golf links Of
the Asheville Country Club, and
with it sixty acres belonging to
the hotel.
The purest water obtainable
anywhere is piped seventeen miles
from the slopes of Mount Mitchell:
over 5000 feet altitude. Biltmore
milk and cream exclusively, sup
piled from 200 registered Jerseys
on the estate of the late Mr.. Geo.
W. Vanderbilt. It is doubtful if
this famous dairy is equaled in
the world.
Four hundred one-piece rugs
were made at Aubusson, France.
Seven hundred pieces Of furniture
and six hundred lighting fixtures
were made by hand by the Roy
crofters.
The plumbing material is the
finest that has ever been placed in
any hotel in the world. The soil
pipe was automatically tested and
then galvanized. The hot water
pipe, $4,000 lbs. in weight, is solid
brass. The steam pipes are Byers
Igenuine lap-welded wrought iron:
ltested automatically to i goo lbs
THE bath tubs and fixtures are ali

anywhere. No radiators to be seen

under windows. No electric bulbs

The "Big Room, or what some
call the lobby, is 80 feet by 120
land is probably the most unique
lpublic room in the world. The
two great freplaces in it will burn
twelve-foot logs. 1t required 12o
tons of boulders for each fireplace.
For the golfers there are lockers
and shower-bath rooms with a for
lty-foot swimming pool that is not
|excelled by the finest clubs in ex-
listence, and the players are less
than 100 yards distant when on
the links.
Persons with any form of tuber-
cular trouble will not be received
at the Inn. A thousand acres
around the Inn, offer the finest
combination Of climate, comfort
and happiness in surroundings
possible.
The Inn is located on the side of
