falls are 162 feet high. One of the interesting trips here is the 

 visit to the cave under the falls, an awe-inspiring experience. 



PORTO RICO. Porto Rico, or Puerto Rico, discovered by 

 Columbus, explored by Ponce de Leon, of the fountain of youth 

 fame, is our possession in the romantic region of the Spanish 

 Main. San Juan, its capital, with its beautiful harbor, beckons 

 to the traveler to come and share its excellent hotels, beautiful 

 scenery, glorious climate, in a scene romantically historic. Sports 

 of all kinds, day trips to other islands, and enticing shops are 

 added attractions. 



CANADA I 



To the north of the United States, across the longest unfortified 

 border in the world, lies our sister nation, Canada. Extending 

 from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the United States to the 

 North Pole, Canada is the largest country in the western hemis- 

 phere. Once part of a French Empire, Canada has a large French 

 population centered in the province of Quebec, which retains 

 many of the customs and ways of life in France. Here the visitor 

 will see oxen drawing carts; the quaint sloping-roofed houses; 

 the wayside shrines; outdoor circular ovens. Quebec city com- 

 bines reminders of its French origin in its lower town under the 

 cliff on top of which rises the great Hotel Frontenac, and echoes 

 of early English settlement in the little house where the Duke 

 of York once lived. Further up the St. Lawrence lies Montreal, 

 a large, modern city, home of McGill University. 



In the east are the Maritime Provinces, Nova Scotia, New 

 Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island. Nova Scotia holds in- 

 terest for the traveler, both for its romance and history. Here 

 is the home of Evangeline; here also in Annapolis Royal we have 

 a settlement older than our Jamestown. Halifax, with its beau- 

 tiful harbor, its citadel, is the largest city of the region, with St. 

 John, at the mouth of the river of the same name, second in size. 



These provinces are famous vacation lands. The Bay of 

 Fundy, with the highest tides in the world, produces the natural 

 wonders of the reversible falls at St. John and the tidal bore of

the Peticodiac River. Deep sea fishing combines with trout and 

 salmon fishing on such famous rivers as the Restigouche, 

 Mirimachi, St. John and the Tobique. In the fall, the hunting 

 claims the attention of sportsmen, with deer, moose, bear and 

 partridge as the prey. Beautiful beaches, lovely lakes, attract 

 the traveler. 



Linked to the east by a system of modern railways, the 

 Canadian Rockies of the west are another famous vacationland. 

 Jasper Park with its snowcapped mountains, its snowfields and 

 glaciers, sparkling waterfalls and lakes, luxurious hotel, offers 

 swimming, golf, tennis, horseback riding and other sports. 

 Rocky Mountain Park, with Lake Louise, near Banff, is another 

 favorite vacation spot. Mountain climbing with experienced 

 guides is an added attraction. 



Canada's modern cities: Toronto, Ottawa, the capital, Winn- 

 ipeg, Vancouver, offer excellent hotels, shopping and other 

 attractions. 



INDIANS OF THE UNITED STATES 

 AND CANADA 



The Indians of the United States and Canada command the 

 attention of every traveler throughout those two countries. 

 Archeological remains, such as those of the cliffdwellers of the 

 southwest and the mound builders of the Mississippi Valley, 

 among other interesting sites, deserve the attention given them 

 by the discriminating traveler. 



The seasonal ceremonies of different sections, some of which 

 are open to outsiders, present an unforgettable experience for 

 those able to witness them. 



The American Indian, in all sections of these countries which 

 once belonged to him, has much to offer in his interpretation of 

 the lives of his ancestors and in his endeavors to reproduce for 

 your inspection and purchase, the arts which made them famous. 

 According to the section which you visit, you will find pottery, 

 blankets, jewelry and other products for sale.
