N ature defi es the printed word as well as the

the mission of this booklet will have been performed,
notwithstand:ng inadequate portrayal.
Little Traver se Bay-above which P etoskey rises on
the crest of a series of natural t erraces-is to America,
what the Bay of Naples is t o Europe. At the sunset
hour of any bright day, the shores of this charming body
of wat er are lined with people who find, in the incom-
p arable sunset scenes, indescribable beauty. At times
the great golden ball, as it touches the horizon, seems to
rest upon a pilla r of molten met als. Again the count-
less radiations spread upon the rippling waters suggest
the f an tail of a gigantic golden peacock.
In the days when vast fortunes of the present day
were unknown, a visiting business man viewing the
scene expressed his maximum -of appreciation in bestow-
ing on these everchanging nature pictures the phrase
" Million Dollar Sunset s."
One of the illust rations on t his page is r ep r oduced
f rom a photograph taken just outside the P etoskey cit y
limits. This t ype of virgin wood is found in a multitude
of rest spots within easy walking dist ance of P etoskey

LOCATION
Two hundred miles north of Grand Rapids, and forty
miles south of the Straits of Mackinaw, is Petoskey,
Michigan. Northern Indian tribes- quick to discover
the natural advantages of the region-raised their
t epees on the site of the present city long before the
period of LaSalle and Father Marquette. Brooks,
rivulets, streams and l akes laden with fish; ozone of
rarest purity; mineral waters of great medicinal quality ;
wooded lands alive with game-these, and the restful
beauty of the region, luring the Indians t o settlement,
are still, even in the passage of years, potent in health
and recreational elements. These magnetic natural
qualities have for more than half a century drawn
health and recreation seekers from all points of this
continent.

The Pine Lake Drive circles around a charming
inland body of water on the shores of which lie t he
quaint communities of Boyne City and East Jordan,
inviting the tourist to partake of a generous hospitalit y.

the population of this particula r locality and their
products of headwork and basketry are of the finest

stone hat chet s still found in this r egion speak of days
when white men were unknown to the aborigine. Out

HEALTH
A blessed boon to those who chance to need surgical
Qr medical attention are Petoskey's two celebrat ed hos-
pitals. Lockwood Hospital, locat ed at the very highest
altitude in this cit y of elevations, r emoved from cont act
with industry and commerce, is at the same time within
five minutes of the business section of the cit y. Under
the supervision of eminent physicians and surgeons, this
community institution has sent back, complete in health,
innumerable seemingly incurable invalids.

line of Little Traverse Bay, is a thoroughly modernized

vast numbers of people for treatment.
Add to the natural curative qualities of Petoskey's
clarifi ed air and mineral wat ers the protective qualities
of these two thoroughly equipped and efficiently man-
aged hospitals, and visiting invalids are certain of both
climatic and scientific conditions in unusual combination.
NO HAY FEVER OR ASTHMA
P etoskey, known as a haven of rest , boasts that it has
no hay f ever or asthma, no malaria, no mosquitoes, or
insect pest s, but the ancient joy of the great out-of-doors
is everybody's. Pungent trees draw fragrance out of
an untroubled, ageless soil-nursing contentment ; nature
draws a magic ring, and the tourist draws the coolest ,
clearest breath that ever float ed free in summer.

Not under the shining sun is there a purer air or
more strengthening climate than nature has bestowed
upon the Little Traverse Bay Region, and, notwithstand-
ing the fact that this r egion has been for many years
her alded to the world as a health and Summer paradise,

one of many adjacent smaller lakes, may be had at low

Every day of the heated t erm brings to thi s haven of
relief multitudes of persons whose only certain r elief
lies in the wave washed air of this natural sanitarium.
The current year will find here guest s who have not
mi ssed a season in over a quarter century. The breeze
from Little Traverse Bay has translated sneezes and
tears into laughter and smiles for myriad sufferers.
\Vhere all medication has fail ed, P etoskey air has ban-
ished the dread perennial diseases, Hay Fever and
Asthma.
Now here in the United States is there a celebrated
Summer r esort and watering place which combines
industrial advantages with health and r ecreational f ea-
tures so fittingly as P etoskey. Great tanneries, wood-

working factories, foundri es, and the most highly mod-
ernized cement plant in the world are among the local
manufactories that stabilize the city as an "all-year-
round" place to live.
Essentially a city of home owners is P etoskey, in
which the vine-clad cottage of modest cost neighbors
with mansions of more wealthy citizens. The democracy
of this city in political, religious and social circles makes
for the happiness and comfort of new r esidents and
visitors. Unlike most important r esort cities, the
splendid hotels here are always open and serve as enter-
t ainment and educational civic centers.

The Chamber of Commerce of Petoskey exists for the
sole purpose of advancing the interests of the Northern
Michigan resort r egion, and this function is best per-
formed by exhibiting hearty interest in furnishing
r egional information. To the visitor in the city this
organization is a veritable encyclopedia and gracious

NOTES OF INTEREST
When hotel and boarding place accommodations are
overtaxed, representative citizens of P etoskey open their
homes to care for the city' s guests. The warmth of
hospitality in this North country is in keeping with the
virility of its people. P etoskey is known throughout
the nation as the most metropolitan city of its size on
this continent. On either side of beautifully wooded
parks in the city's center, are retail shops of all kinds
which, with merchandise in both class and variety, vie
with any stores in the United States.
Utilities in gas, electricity, water and sanitation;
exceptional thoroughfares, which include fourteen miles
of pavement, and magnificent homes, make for an
Aladdin city set in a garden of Nature's rugged design.
P etoskey, the trading center of Northern Michigan,
entertains no less than a quarter million of visitors each
season, and the elasticity of accommodations necessary
to these conditions makes P etoskey a metropolis, with
public buildings and business establishments equal, if not
superior, to cities t en times its size.
Emmet County, of which P etoskey is the seat of gov-
ernment, is distinguished at home and abroad as one of
the very f ew districts wherein cattle are absolutely fr ee
from tuberculosis. This is a vital consideration for both
children and adults visiting P etoskey or this t erritory
for r est and r ecuperation.
The natural fruits and vegetables of the Petoskey
t erritory are in quality superior to any grown in Mich-
igan, a state celebrated for agricultural products.
Petoskey has the distinction of having three of the
l argest bulb farms in this section-The Grossman,
Darling, and Petoskey Bulb f arms. From early spring
until late autumn hundreds of tourists drive out on
M 13 to view the gorgeous colorings of tulips, dahlias,
gladiolas and hyacinths.

For persons interest ed in manufacturing many items
of interest can be seen in visit s to P etoskey's industries.

the premises and processes.
The Michigan Maple Block Company contradicts in
its national scope the laws of industr y, in that wood
t ables and blocks made by them are shipped many times
by express across the continent to users living in wood
working centers. T he prime reason for this lies in
patented wood welding devices used in construction.
Butchers in Maine and tailors in Florida, glove makers
