THE BILTMORE FOREST FAIR 



19 



There are none 

 left, near Biltmore; 

 they were removed 

 before you were 

 born; I can show 

 you the stumps on- 

 ly of big trees along 

 our route; and I 

 show you, in this 

 booklet, some trees 

 standing in my for- 

 ests some fifteen 

 miles from here. 

 We shall actually 

 see them on Satur- 

 day next; here is 

 one of the finest; 

 a;nd a fine girl, 

 standing at its base 

 on-a log, holds her 

 hat on a stick, so 

 as to give you a 

 chance to measure 

 the size of the tree. 

 The illustration 

 shows a typical 

 scene in the woods. 

 The tall tree is a 

 " YeUow Poplar, " 

 worth $120.00, when 

 converted into lum- 

 ber. I shall cut it 



and saw it up within less than five years. If you want it saved 

 I shall save it upon receipt from you of $120. 



"Special privileges to nobody!" 



Thus cried the mob. 



And there upon the truth, too, was forbidden to go naked.
