AH IDEAL VACATION SPOT 
Plan this year, and every year, to visit White 
Top Mountain on your vacation. Lying in the 
heart of the Southern Appalachians and rising 
5,530 feet above the sea, White Top Mountain 
offers scenery not surpassed anywhere in the 
South. 
There are many advantages in a visit to White 
Top. Lying as it does, above the pollen-carry¬ 
ing breezes, it offers an excellent retreat for 
those suffering from hay fever. Wandering 
among groves of beautiful Lashorn (Picea rub¬ 
ra) trees, the visitor may stoon to quench his 
thirst from gurgling springs of delicious free¬ 
stone water. 
Restful days . . . delightful days . . . may be 
spent atop this lofty mountain. Bright sunny 
days and cool nights, free from the worry and 
heat of the world below. 
OLD CUSTOMS PREVAIL 
Old customs and traditions still exist among 
the people native to the White Top country. The 
interested visitor may find the best native An¬ 
glo-Saxon folk music, balladry, arts and tradi- 
tions, untainted by the 
advance of civilization. 
The White Top Folk 
Festival, held for six 
years on the Moun¬ 
tain, brought to light 
many undiscovered 
gems of American Folk 
Lore. 
The man in the il¬ 
lustration is holding a 
Dulcimer, one of the 
old time musical in¬ 
struments, some of 
which still may be 
found i n mountain 
homes, along with 
hand looms and old 
corner cupboards. 
One may still hear 
folk music and see folk 
dances which are con¬ 
ducted from time to 
time at the Lodge atop 
the Mountain.

There is no more delightfully cool spot in Virginia 
for entertaining, whether it be your Bridge Club or a 
special Banquet, than the Guest Lodge on White Top 
Mountain. Plan now to entertain your friends there. 
All details will be handled by Miss Osborne, and you 
may enjoy the added pleasure of the drive, over im¬ 
proved roads, to and from the Mountain. Charges 
are reasonable and arrangements for entertaining 
may be made by calling The White Top Lodge, 
through Damascus, Virginia, phone No. 1214, or by 
letter to White Top Company, Inc., Abingdon, Va.

with the best string orchestra available. 
Campers too are welcomed on the Mountain, 
where space has been provided in the open field 
and under the spreading branches of the Lashorns 
for them to pitch their tents. 
Visitors to White Top may wander, unfraid of 
poisonous reptiles as none exist on the Moun¬ 
tain, over beautiful mountain trails, drinking 
in the scenery and enjoying the abundant bird 
life and the rare mountain wild flowers. They 
may fish, if they choose, in the mountain 
streams for trout, or in the rivers of the valleys 
for bass. Too, by making advance arrangements, 
they will be furnished horses to ride over the 
numberless miles of mountain roads and trails. 
White Top invites you for vacationing, for 
week-ends, for entertaining.

A FOLK DAHCE OH WHITE TOP MOUHTAIH

“Jennie Put The Kettle On,” and “Arkansas 
Traveler” and may hear such ballads as “Bar¬ 
bara Allen” and “Lord Lovel” coming from 
mountain homes near White Top.
