Delightful Summer Resort on the This famous hostelry on the superb plateau of the Allegheny Moun- The popularity of DEER PARK is due to its desirable altitude, 2,800 feet above the sea level, out of reach of malaria and mosquitoes; and its magnificent parking of 500 acres of forest and lawn, and miles of perfectly kept roadways, afford most delightful surroundings. It is thoroughly modern as to improvements and equipment, with Bowling Alleys, Billiard Rooms, Tennis Courts, Golf Links, Swimming Pools, Livery, etc., and the delightful rooms and excellent cuisine are not surpassed. No mountain resort equals it for accessibility-only eleven hours ride from Cincinnati or New York; nine and one-half hours from Philadelphia; seven hours from Baltimore; six hours from Washington; seven hours from Pittsburg; ten hours from Columbus; twentyone hours from St. Louis, and nineteen hours from Chicago, via the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad.

Very few summer resorts enjoy the privilege of through train and Pullman car service from all points such as Deer Park.
