" TAL THE GROVE 1 Finest Resort Hotel in the World Amid Mountain Surroundings That Are Inspiring and Invigorating. ' Mr. E. W. Grove, of St. Louis, Mo., has built at Asheville, N. C . the finest resort hotel in the world Grove Park Inn which was opened July 12, 1913, and is oper ated all the year round It is ab solutely fireproof, built of- the great boulders of Sunset Moun tain, at the foot of which it sits. t was built by hand in the old ashioned way full of rest, cont ort and whole someness. The front awn is the hundred and twenty acre eignteen-iiole goit imiis oi the Asheville Country Club, and with it sixty acres belonging to the hotel. The purest water - obtainable anywhere is piped seventeen miles rom the slopes of Mount Mitchell. over 6,000 feet altitude. Biltmore milk and cream exclusively, sup plied from 200 registered Jerseys on the estate of the late Mr. Geo. - W. Vanderbilt. It is doubtful if this famous dairy is equaled in . the world. Four hundred one-piece rugs were made at Aubusson, France. : Seven hundred pieces of furniture and six hundred lighting fixtures were made by hand by the Roy - crofters. The plumbing material is the finest that has ever been placed in any hotel in the world. The soil pipe was hydraulically tested and then galvanized. The hot water pipe, 18,000 lbs. m weight, is solid brass. The steam pipes are Byers genuine lap-welded wrought iron.. ested hydraulically to 1,000 lbs - The bath tubs" and fixtures are alt solid poreelain.- No pipes visible anywhere. No radiators to be seen anywhere all placed in recesses under windows. No electric bulbs visible. The "Big Room', or what some call the lobby, is 80 feet by 120, and is probably the most unique public room in the world. The two great fireplaces in it will burn twelve-foot logs. -Jt required 12J tons of boulders for each fireplace. For the golfers there are-lockers and shower-bath' rooms' with a forty-foot swimming pool that is not excelled by the finest club's in ex istence, and the' players are less than 100 yards distant when on the links. Persons with any form of tuber cular trouble will not be received at the Inn. A thousand acres around the Inn, -offer the finest combination - of climate, ' comfort. and" happiness in surroundings possible. The Tnn is located on the side of Sunset Mountain, about a mile from the top, and is not only cool enough in Summer to make a blanket necessary at night, but is protected and mild enough m Winter to make life enjoyable without enervation ; while the : views from its broad verandas on every side, varying and with new interest every hour, in changing sunlight and shadow, are truly sublime. Italy has no such sun sets, Switzerland no crisp moun tain air more invigorating, Ire land no dells of more entrancing beauty or poetic inspiration the,-' world no such mountain range - els.ewhe.re as has here from "crea tion's dawn" measured the laps ing centuries, pointing the passing generations ever heavenward and proclaiming that "the hand that made us is divine.' . " ; ; Here all who - are physically, weary or enervated from brain fag can come in touch with the psychology of nature and know again their wonted vigor of body and mind, and face life anew with strengthened purpose and revived hope: ; ' ' " -" If you have never been to Grove Park Inn and anything stated in this article appeals to you do not delay your going, for you will rea lize all that is herein claimed and more. If you have visited the Inn the call to go again is irresistible. Osteopathy . Doctors : - . ALBERT WINKELIJAN and - 1 LILA BROADHURST 'Rooms 204-205-206 Grant Bld Phone 428 L
