Saluda Is situated on the southeast edge of the Appalachian Plateau, on the national highway, within three miles of Lake Summit. It has lovely walks and drives, and magnificent views from nearby summits, and picturesque waterfalls. The city has a modern electric plant, water works, paved sidewalks, local and long distance telephones, thirty-seven good hotels and boarding houses, with reasonable rates; two banks that are showing notable gains every year, good stores, a wonderful public library, and a graded and high school second to none for a community of this size. , Good Railroad Facilities Make Saluda Very Accessible. Saluda has good train service, situated midway between Spartanburg, S. C., and Asheville, N. C., having four passenger trains daily each way. Good freight service is also maintained, which insures the business in[ terests service at all times. The United States geological department gives the following note about Saluda: "There is more ozone in the atmosphere in and around Saluda than at other points in this range of the Blue Ridge Mountains, owing to the condition created by the currents of air from the higher altitudes in pass Kolftw Go. lng In to tne l ryon vauej UCium mm- | luda."
