Grove Park Inn has taken this page not so much
to advertise the wonders of their building and grounds,
for most of those who will read it have read our ad
vertisements or visited the Inn, and are convinced that
our statement that we are building the finest resort
hotel in the world is not in any sense extravagant.
We are contributing to this Good Roads edition
to lend our voice and all the influence we can com
mand to the cause of Good Roads.
The value of Good Roads to a section like ours
simply cannot be estimated.
A great deal of our prosperity must come from
tourists.
Mr. William S. Kenney, who will manage Grove
Park Inn, has just resigned the management of the
Mount Washington Hotel, Bretton Wood, New Hamp
shire, the highest price and undoubtedly the most
profitable resort hotel in the United States.
The Mount Washington statistics showed last
year that 7 6 percent of its guests came in automobiles.
When will the time come when 76 percent of the
guests of the Land of the Sky can come in automobiles
unless there is a greater movement in the direction of
good roads than we have seen up to the present time?
The value of property depends on the number
of people who go to it or live near it.
Land twenty miles from a railroad can be had
for one dollar an acre.
Property in one Southern city has already
brought as high as $7,000 a front foot.
Get Good Roads all through this section and the
public will use them.
The farmer will find his way to town. His
. children will get to school. Everybody wUl be more
prosperous and the world will grow brighter.
Let the whole section unite in the Good Roads
movement.
