O A TRAVELING man these hot days
the one physical problem is to find a
place to cool off and keep cool. >
I have found the place, and I want to
tell all the readers of The Golden Age
about my good fortune. It is “the high
est spot this side the Rockies” —Hotel
Balsam, at Balsam, N. C.
The depot on the Southern Railway,
T
between Salisbury and Murphy—only two hundred
yards below the hotel —has an altitude of 3,551 feet.
Think of the perpetual coolness of it all, with the
thermometer playing around 65 as an average!
And just out yonder—a delightful walk from the
hotel —the seeker of coolness finds beautiful Woodfin
Creek Falls leaping and cascading down the moun
tain side three hundred feet.
To stand there and look at Woodfin Falls, dashing
and splashing in all their indescribable beauty, and
then look away to the grandeur of Plot Balsam,
Jones’ Knob and Double Top, with all the magnificent
Balsam range of mountains about and beyond them,
is enough to make a man stand in awe and adoration
before the God who made it all —it brings out the
best there is in him.
Back at the hotel, among delightful guests, in an
elegant hotel of 100 rooms, with water supplied from
a spring 165 feet even above the hotel, the weary

THE BREEZY BALM OT BALSAM
rr A Traveling Man” Grotes Enthusiastic Ober "The Highest Spot This Side the 'Rockies.”
The Golden Age for August 11, 1910.
One of the many points of interest in
walking distance from Hotel Balsam is
the picturesque Woodfin Creek Falls,
whose waters tumble 300 feet down the
rugged mountain side.
traveler soon forgets his troubles and is in love with
the world and everybody in it.
The recent building of this great new hotel by
people who have heart as well as money has had an
uplifting effect on this whole section.
“Nature has lavished her richest gifts on Balsam.
For grandeur of mountain scenery, invigorating,
health-giving atmosphere and pure water, it is un
surpassed.
Taking it as a whole, we can not conjure up in our
minds a place better suited to the tired, worn-out
business man or woman, a place where sweeter rest
from worry and anxious business cares could be
found.
Truly, it is a haven of rest, and there was evident
ly more than the worldly thought of money-making
in the heart and brain of the builders.
Out of real gratitude for all it gives out, and a
real sympathy or “fellow feeling” for my tired-out
brethren, both of the “grip” and the “counter,” as
well as the fair office-worn stenographic sisters, I
say, shut your eyes to the daily grind that is making
you lose interest in life, pack your grip, board the
first train for Balsam, and breathe that invigorating
a : r, drink that life-giving water, keep cool and get
the roses back to your cheeks.
A TRAVELING MAN.
