Biltmore House, Thrown Open First |
Time, Is Viewed by Great Throngs j
I
Persons innumerable are familiar
with the wonderful drives through
the groumlsi of Biltmore House, and
the unmatched scenic effects of that
vast estate, but last Saturday was
the first time the Mansion itself has
Seen upon to the public. Brevard
?nd Transylvania feels a peculiar in
terest jin this estate because its for
mer owner, the late Geo. W. Vander
bilt, formerly owned the Pisgah
National Forest, and because of ilia
many visits and pleasant contacts is
this section.
The portions of the Biltmore
House opened to the public include
the Wain Entrance Hall and the
courts on either side, the Palm Court,
the Library, the Banquet Hall, the
Dining Room, the Print Koom, the
Main Sti-irca^e, the Oak Sitting
Room, the Loui3 XVI Bedroom, Halls
Coi-riders. etc., and with them the
grounds .*nd gardens adjacent.
The house was begun in 1890, and
was completed some five or six years
later. The building is in style of the
French Renaissance, ana in many
features suggestive of the famed
Chateau of Blois (France), especial
ly the main stairwiy. The landscap
ing could have been done nowhere
e! . The success of both architect
?i:<l lanscape artist is well attested
bv the wide fame of the Biltmore
lis. ats, and that their work was well
re arded by Mr. Vanderbilt is shown
fcy the prominent positions occupied
b\ their life size portraits (Archi
tect ? Richard Hunt; Lanscape Ar
tist ? Frederick Law Olmstead).
My Kurds are totally inadequate to
descril'i the interior. Suffice it to
say i during the years the Bilt
more House was building, its owner
ransacked America and Europe for
treasures to put in it. Furniture,
furnishings, paintings, sculptures,
tapestries, carvings, ? the best of
the past many centuries, and from
?nuny lands ? were assembled to com
plete the setting for the new mis
tress-to-bi- of the hou^e. The artic
les themselves are priceless; their
Wautj incomparable; and their ar
fsiift-ement clearly shows the guide
?if a master hand.
illustrations of Biltmore House
*nd grounds, and of many of its
treasures, have been carried in the
press of the nation for weeks. The
announcement that the public will
btf allowed to inspect Bitmore House
\ vtj - "Front l'ajie News" from one
?nd of the country to the other, and
?Jn the opening day visitors by the
hundreds visited the place. The
I'atlie N'ews Service took talking
moving pictures of the opening
? "i "i'H. Hies and views from time to
ti.me throughout the day. A random
Vi'il of the ears parked in front of
building at one time showed li
?.'? plates from seventeen states,
: attci vi from Massachusetts to New
Mexico, mid from North Dakota to
Florida.
As might he expected, Brevard nn<i
Transylvania county furnished a
iitrmliei the visitors at the Bilt
more ll.ejse opening.

Standing out
as the better cigarette
THE SINGLE IDEA of superlative quality was the inspiration
for Camel Cigarettes*
From the time when the first Camel Cigarette was made
that one idea has set Camel apart.
A policy of better tobaccos, combined in an incomparable
blend, manufactured with the most exacting care ? all to
assure the utmost pleasure in smoking.
That is the ideal and the practice back of every package of
Camel Cigarettes.
It has made Camel the most popular cigarette ever known.
More millions have chosen Camels for smoking pleasure than
ever accorded their patronage to any other cigarette.
