  • Quebec Invites You. the Wonderland of America
    * PROVINCIAL TOURIST BUREAU, ROADS DEPARTMENT QUEBEC, CANADA The EDITH andXORNE PIERCE COLLECTION of CANADIANA Mmbm The Province of Quebec Where everything is different A Big Day at Blue Bonnets Race Track SCENIC, SPORT, and PASTIME ATTRACTIONS:—One-fifth the size of Europe and beautiful beyond compare, the Province of Quebec has for the tourist a wealth of attraction. Three-quarters of its area is highland terrain, dotted with a myriad lakes and cut through by countless watercourses, providing a class of scenery not to be found anywhere else on earth. Then the grandest river of North America, the majestic St. Lawrence, fed by mighty tri- butaries, themselves rivers of no mean size in many an instance, threads the Province through from end to end on a thousand-mile course and makes a further contribution to pictures- queness that must be seen to be appreciated. The vast stretches of forest hold an abundance of game : moose, bear, deer, caribou, and smaller varieties; and the rivers and lakes literally teem with fish: trout, salmon, bass, maskinonge, ouana- niche, being some of the varieties which, if not peculiar to the Prov- ince of Quebec, are said to be found here under the best known con- ditions of accessibility and abundance. From one end of the Province to the other, on the lakes and rivers, in the mountains, and down by the sea, are summer resorts innu- merable, with the widest variety of diversions, both indoor and out, and accommodation ranging from that of the ultra-fashionable hotel to the modest but comfortable farmhouse—to say nothing of camps and camping sites aplenty.
