The New Country Club Real Restful Resort
A Poetic Fling At The Kaiser; Local Lines

THE more the people OF FL Pas1
visit the new Mount Franklin
country club, the more they are
going to be glad that it was built and
that they are members.
With the tennis courts completed
and the golf links put in, the club
should become the most popular re
sort around Fl Paso and remain so,
for its other features are already pop
ular. The cuisine IS excellent, the ser
vice up TO the standard OF the cook
ing. and the club is cosy, convenient
and most inviting. The large veran-
dahs are features that must appeal to
all members and the dancing floor is
most inviting.
The club is Just far enough IN the
country 10 give one that free feeling
that comes only in such surround
ings Its location isolates it from
even a view OF the city, yet the view
OF the mountains, the mesa and the
valley is inspiring and grand. The
drive TO the club is short enough to
be enjoyable, not long enough to be
ttresOme and the road. though unpaved
beyond the FL Paso country club. Is in
good condition all the way.
Climbing up out Of the dust into

q haven OF rest in the new club.
