build up your worn out physical sys.
tenn and rest your mental faculties
think Of the Colorado of Oklahoma,
the beautiful Turner Falls. in the heart
of the Arbuckle mountains.
This wonderful park embraces seven
hundred and fifteen decided acres of
Mother Natures most beautiful handi-
work, with its many acres of noun
tain forest. with those wonderful falls
in their mad rush down the wooded
canyons.
Think Of the many mysterious caves
Of the two and one half miles of ex-
quisite beauty along the banks Of
Honey Creek think of the delightful
breezes always blowing down these
mountain canyons; think of the many
shaded fishing holes; of the restful
hammock stretched between two beau
tiful cedar trees; Of the six bathing
pools ranging from one foot to twenty
feet deep, warmed by the suns friend
ly rays-bathing places for the toddl-
ing kiddies and the expert swimmer
with their never ending supply of clear
running spring water furnished by
countless mountain springs. Think Of
the grandeur of these wonderful falls,
of the solid sheet of sparkling water
Rlling seventy-three feet down this
granite cliff-listen to the music of
these wonderful falls, mingled with
laughter of happy vacationists and
think what a different business man
you will be after an outing with Moth
er Nature as your hostess; think of
the renewed punch you will put into
your work after a sojourn for a period
at Turner Falls, in the heart of the
Arbuckle mountains"
