Hi Everyone,
 
I have a friend looking for the source of this article. I don't  know where 
it came from and thought perhaps one or more of you might recognize  it.

Remember when we talked about the article about my great grandfather's  
hotel in Chain Lakes? I have copies of an article about the prices, dates, and  
menus at the hotel, but I cannot find out what magazine or book the info is 
 from. 

It states:  "Tucked away in such a  remote part of the Adirondacks, that 
few persons know of its existence is one of  the most beautiful and 
picturesque places in the mountains.  "Seven Chain  Lakes" is situated in Hamilton 
County nine miles north of tIndian Lake village,  and twenty-seven miles from 
North Creek, the nearest railroad station,  consisting of, as the name 
implies, a connecting chain of lakes, and within from  1/4 to 3 miles of which ten 
other lakes and ponds all accessible by  mountains".  '
The article goes on to talk about the  seasons for hunting and fishing, and 
ends with: "The rarity of the  atmosphere insures absolute freedon to hay 
fever patients, but special request  is made that no one suffering from 
pulmonary trouble apply for  accommondation."
There is also a page listing  a menu, camp prices and boat rentals.
