ERA OF THE GOLDEN
DAWN AND DEEP GAP
* W .A. Watson.)
We have often pointed with prideto
Deep Gap?the haven of rest for
the weak and weary where one can
feel the rejuvenating sunshine and
listen to the song of the birds, when
on may talk a walk?a leisurely walk
being nearly always in harmony with
the balmy air that wafts itself overward
while you can pick for yourself
a wayside flower, cheerful, colorful
with many tints and inspiring.
Deep Gap is under heavens canopy
where the sweet music of birds
thrill your soul, the fragrance ox tender
flowers and the sighing of pines
lofty chestnut that grow on the hillside
and dale.
Deep Gap is an open paradise so
to speak, and we want you to know
what this place holds in store for
you. We want to tell you that Deep
Gap is started off with a bang and
io doubt will grow into a "City on
the Hills in the Clouds" within a
short time.
We want to give you u little of its
past h.story ami give credit to whom

j We have no idea whar. will develop
j at Deep Gap, as our feeble mind cannot
comprehend or grasp the meaning
of it?but take our word for it
that Deep Gap is going to be a town
some day?which we think will not
be far off.
The possibilities here are greater
than at any other place we know in
Western North Carolina.
Here is the place to establish a
good sanatorium for tuberculosis patients
as the air and sunshine would
be just ideal for these patients.
This section being eight in the
heart of hardwoods and pine could
develop a manufacturing business
that would pay big dividends to cap
itai as the sites here are ideal and
nature has supplied everything in the
way of raw materials that would be
needed The raw ^notorial is now being
shipped north to be manufactured
A chair factor}', wood or box factory
and furniture of all descrip'ions
could offer big possibilities end inducements.
