ance of freshness and vitality to
start off a new day. The winter
climate of the Hendersonville area
is very attractive to people of the
North. The highest temperature
of the three coolest months main
tains an average Of 49.4 degrees.
This permits outdoor activities un-
der favorable conditions with an
average of only nine days a month
in which there is any rainfall. The
all-year tourist seeks the Hender-
sonville climate because it is
wholesome and free from the ex-
tremes of heat and cold; a place
of comfort in spring, summer, fall
and winter.
GAS perfectly as the architect
of the universe shaped His handi-
work, and especially so in these
Blue Ridge mountains, the skilled
hands of landscape architects have
been employed to splendid advan-
tage in enhancing the natural
beauty of this section. This fact
has been strongly emphasized by
the many unusually beautiful es-
tates in the Flat Rock section, an
attractive suburb of Henderson
vile.
"For 100 years, Henderson
ville's climate has been famous.
During this period people have
found their way here in search of
health, rest and recuperation from
many quarters of the world. What
has been good for the tourist and
health seeker in the way of CHI
mate is contributory to the health
and efficiency of human labor.
Hendersonville is centrally located
for distribution of products by rail
or motor, being readily accessible
to the market centers of the North
and South, and an abundance of
hydro-electric power is close at
hand. Hendersonville's wholesome,
body building, health preserving
climate, naturally appeals to the
manufacturer beyond his own
health or that of his family be-
cause he wants those climatic qua
lities and healthful surroundings
that are conducive to strength,
health, vigor and pep among his
employees.
WATER HERE PURE, SOFT
AND PALATABLE
"Hendersonville's water is noted
for it's purity, softness, palatabil-
ity, and it's source is in the Sc
Guided regions of the Pisgah Ma
tional Forest. The water is piped
to Hendersonville and on a noun
tain above the city is stored for
distribution not only to Hender-
sonville proper, but a large area
of suburban residents.
"Only short distance away, we
find the Episcopal conference
grounds at beautiful Kanuga
Lake. Here, during the summer,
large groups engage in camping,
religious study and other recrea-
tional activities which are presid-
ed over by Bishop Finlay, one OF
the outstanding religious leaders
of the South. Within close proX-
unity are found the assembly
grounds for the Presbyterian, Lu-
theran, Baptist and Methodist
churches, engaged in similar &C
tivities. Here thousands of the
leading church workers of the ma
ton find recreation and religious
inspiration each year. In addition,
practically all denominations OF
churches are represented in Hen
Jacksonville. Within the bounda-
ries of Henderson county are 26
organized camps for boys and
girls, rating high according to the
state standards for safety and
sanitationj. Here, hundreds of
boys and girls gather each year to
engage in outdoor sports contribu--
tory to the building of body and
mind. We find them engaged in
horseback riding, swimming, dane,
ing, archery, crafts and hiking, all
under the supervision of trained
counsellors and medical advisers.
No one need fear for the welfare
and safety of their child if placed
in a Hendersonville camp.
