In October, 1931 ground was broken for new buildings necessary to house the largest, most modern “book” type paper machine able to be purchased at the time. Five short months later on March 25, 1932 the 242-inch wide, high speed machine came online. Competitors in the industry were skeptical that such a wide, fast moving machine could produce quality paper, however, the machine emerged as the most efficient and lowest cost producer. In this 1950 photograph, mechanics are making quick preparations for the round the clock renovations. The work was heavy and hazardous, but no injuries resulted.

It is ' ' said, he began to draw early in life, but none of his sketches have been preserved. His first known pictures are of two Spani h dogs, and two portraits, the latter painted when he was thirteen years old, and now in the Redwood Library, Newport. In 1770-71, he received some instructions from a Scotch artist named Alexander, who took him to Scotl~nd in 1772. Two years afterwards, Stuart returned to America and painted portraits in Newport, Rhode Island, and Phila­delphia until 17?5, when he sailed for London, where for a time he played the organ in a small church. In 1792, he re­turned to America, and early in ·1795, Stuart painted his first picture of George Washington, shown on the cover of this magazine. It is said that Gilbert Stuart painted three portraits of Washington, but this one exhibiting the right side of his face, is undoubtedly the truest of the paintings of Washington by Gilbert Stuart. The second was a full-length portrait, and the third a Vignette head. • Gilbert Stuart's paintings, which number about 215, are aid to be remarkable for strength, dignity, and rich color and are to. be found in the chief museums of the country. The portrait reproduced on our front cover was loaned to us by ] he Metropolitan Museum. of Art, New York City. Mr. Stuart

This tower was used during the Civil War for making shot. The old tower is more than one hundred feet high, with a pool at the bottom into which the shot were dropped. During Civil War days shot were made, I suppose, practically as they are made today. According to the Remington Arms Con1pany, Inc., Bridgeport, Conn. "There are two kinds of shot chilled and soft. Soft . . . is sometimes ·also known as drop shot. Both chilled and soft shot are made of lead but chilled contains a . . . . ·gn~ater proportion of antimony to make it harder. "Chilled and soft shot are both produced in a shot tower. -Molten lead is poun~d through sieve like holes at the top of the tower. It forms in small drops, solidi­fies into perfect round shot as it descends a~d falls into ~ater, which acts as a eushion. Different shot sizes are obtained, by pouring the molten lead through different size holes under controlled temperatures. The larger buck shot and single ball sizes are cast in molds." 'The highest shot-tower is in Austria, and is 249 feet high~ The appearance of the platfonn at top of the old shot tower sl1own on the cover would indicate that safety was not practiced in Civil War days. However, this picture \Vas 1nade recently, and when the tower was in use, the guardrail might have been in place. • ' i ~• . r ·n%1. • PUBLISHED BY ''T

It is situated about thirty miles southwest of Asheville, North Carolina, and about the same dis­t ance southeast of Canton, North Carolina. 'Mount Pisgah can be reached over good motor roads from Asheville, Hendersonville, and Canton. Tens of thousands of tourists visit Mount Pisgah annually, to view from the crest of the peak, or from the high­way, the vastness and grandeur of the scenery un­rolled before the eyes of the spectator. . Near the top of Mount Pisgah is located the once famous George Vanderbilt Lodge a private place where the late George Vanderbilt used to hide-a-way and rest for a few days during the sum­mer months. During the lifetime of Mr. Vanderbilt, Mount Pisgah and the Pisgah National Forest was a part of the Vanderbilt Estate, consisting of about 150,- 000 acres. • : PUBLISHED BY "THE CHAMPION FAMILY" HAMILTON.

In October, 1931, ground was broken for new buildings necessary to house the largest, most modern “book” type paper machine able to be purchased at the time. Five short months later on March 25, 1932 the 242-inch wide, high speed machine came online. Competitors in the industry were skeptical that such a wide, fast moving machine could produce quality paper, however, the machine emerged as the most efficient and lowest cost producer.
