A motor party consisting of Dr. and Mrs. Pearce and son, John, and W.L. Tillinghast of St. Petersburg, Fla., reached Brevard last Tuesday, and stopped at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J.L. Saltz. These gentlemen are prosperous business men of Florida, and came through the mountains of Western North Carolina by way of Murphy, looking for a beautiful location for summer homes, and finally decided upon Brevard as the most desirable location.
A motor party consisting of Dr. and Mrs. Pearce and son, John, and W.L. Tillinghast of St. Petersburg, Fla., reached Brevard last Tuesday, and stopped at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J.L. Saltz. These gentlemen are prosperous business men of Florida, and came through the mountains of Western North Carolina by way of Murphy, looking for a beautiful location for summer homes, and finally decided upon Brevard as the most desirable location.
After reaching Brevard, Mr. Saltz accompanied them on a trip to Lake Toxaway, Connesstee, Caesar’s Head, and various falls, camps and places of interest. These gentlemen were delighted with the charm and beauty of this local section of the ”Land of the Sky,” expressing the opinion that this was the most beautiful mountain scenery they had yet seen. On their way to Brevard, the party stopped at Murphy and had decided to invest several thousand dollars in a summer home near that city. On arriving at Brevard, however, and being convinced of the superior beauties and advantages of this immediate section, they decided to buy property here and locate their summer homes in the neighborhood of Brevard rather than at Murphy.
Both are greatly enthused over their wonderful discovery, and are of the opinion that many of their friends will also decide to invest in summer homes in this locality, after learning of their own splendid good fortune.
