| View of a trail through the forest on land owned by Nature Lovers Paradise resort on Jackson Lake. The text describing the photograph says, "The trail leading to our maple grove, where each spring we make absolutely pure maple syrup which we serve on our table, and some of which we also sell. It takes FIFTY gallons of maple sap to make ONE gallon of syrup – very hard work but mighty good stuff when its made. MAPLE SYRUP – This is absolutely pure and unadulterated syrup, home-made in clean and sanitary utensils in the kitchen of our home; from the sap of maple trees in our big timber on the grounds of the summer resort which we operate. This syrup weighs eleven pounds per gallon. PRICES: Quart -- $1.50, Half Gallon – 2.75, Gallon – 5.00. We gladly fill mail orders for one gallon or more. Also we have light-housekeeping lake shore cottages for rent by the week. Correspondence invited. NATURE-LOVERS PARADISE, Grandview, Wisconsin." |
