LAKE MAXINKUCKEE!

THE GREATEST PLEASURE RESORT IN THE WORLD.

Beautiful Parks, Magnificent Hotels, Club Houses, Shady Groves, Flowing Wells, and Fine Steamers.

The beautiful village of Marmont is situated upon the shores of Maxinkuckee Lake, and is preeminently the Garden of Eden of Northern Indiana; or in fact the world.

It is surely destined to be in no far distant day a city of distinction in the commercial world. Its growth from this time on is assured, as men of wealth and culture have already purchased large tracts of land surrounding the lake and are rapidly improving the same or making arrangements to beautify and improve their possessions.

Being situated upon the great Trunk line, the Vandalia, which has a clear run from St. Joseph, Michigan to St. Louis, Missouri, and crossing the largest lines the country, Marmont is accessable from all parts of able the world.

As a point for manufacturing purposes, there is no town that possesses the natural advantages both for the water supply and shipping purposes. The town is surrounded by a beautiful farming country, and consequently has as good support in that direction as any other place in the state.

Lake Maxinkuckee is conceded by men who have had the pleasure of visiting every resort of note in the country to be the finest body of water they ever gazed upon. Nature has done wonderful things for the surrounding of Lake Maxinkuckee, it being surrounded by magnificent groves which stand on an elevation of from 30 to 50 feet, and all along the shores can be seen palace hotels. club houses, boat houses and handsome cottages, which have been erected by wealthy people of Indianapolis and other cities.

The parks upon the shores of the lake are models of exquisite beauty and design and are equipped with rustic seats, and in fact all kinds of seats to accommodate the weary.

The lake is fed by pure natural springs which flow by the dozen all along its shores.

The water is clear as a crystal, and you can easily see the gravel bottom where the water is 30 feet deep. The Lake is noted far and near as the home of the finny tribe, and thousands of choice variety are captured each year by tourists and others.

The fine steamers carry passengers to any point upon the lake and at any time give pleasure seekers a ride.

All in all the Marmont Herald will be published where there is good churches, good schools and enterprising, accommodating people, and we hereby invite the world to come and see our picturesque surroundings and enjoy the cool and pure breezes that are wafted from Lake Maxinkuckee.
