MT. LAKE PARK
Pittsburghers Welcomed


of the Pittsburgh Chamber of Com
merce last Thursday evening to this
community reacted most favorably on
all classes of our citizens. "a move
in the right direction" is the comment
heard on all sides. The natural beauty
and advantages of this section of the
Tableland area favorably impresses
many of our guests, and several voiced
their intention of making this the
place of their summer vacations.
No doubt, as plans mature and
funds become available and interest
increases, added efforts will be put
forth to tell the story of the mountain
top to wider circle of prospective
visitors. With this movement our
people should cooperate to the fullest
extent. This can not be brought to
perfection in day or year. We be-
lieve it will be of gradual, but per-
manent, development.
In the effort to rehabilitate Noun
tain Lake Park so that it may even
exceed it's heyday prosperity, we
might be encouraged by the thought
that i $4,000 men and women, with
a cas} expenditure Of over half mil
lion {. liars, can be induced to pay
hard ash to witness the Sharkey-
Schm ling prize fight, as they did on
Tues0"y evening for half an hour,
certainly several thousand persons can
be made to see the advantages OF a
few weeks, or longer, spent in this
area, amid bounteous natural beauty
and health-giving environments.
There is still enough money in this
section for the better things of life,
if properly advertised. America is
not broke by long shot.
