FOUR PICTORIALS

ARIZONA Strange Land of Sunshine and Surprises

ARIZONA is a strange land exotic, bizarre, weird, beautiful-full of surprises at every turn of the road. The visitor, appearing on the Arizona scene for the first time, often has preconceived notions of what to expect. An Easterner has nothing to compare Arizona by, and for that reason a first visit presents such startling and unexpected surprises. Surely after the sophistication and the humdrum of a big city, a visitor stands slightly startled and awed when he sees the subject used by Jas. R. Wilson in his "Last of the Long Hairs." The person unaccustomed to the Mexican and Indian types found in this state will find a rare pleasure making these contacts. Artists never lack for subjects upon which to direct their talents in this state.

If you have never seen a Saguaro in bloom, another surprise awaits you. Mr. Wilson's "Waxen Beauties," is a careful study of such a surprise.

Utility and beauty are found by Mr. Wilson in his study of an irrigation canal. Here are waters which form in high mountain tops being harnessed and directed to the desert that garden and crops may grow. Your journey through the mountains, over highways that never fail to charm with their excellence, will reveal unexpected garden spots similar to Mr. Wilson's pictorial of apricot trees in bloom.

Wherever you go in this strange land, you will find undreamed of wonders and surprises. Perhaps that is the charm that attracts so many strangers to our land, perhaps that is the quality that endears this strange land to us who live here, and why so few of us ever leave.
