SOUVENIR OF
THE GREAT SALT LAKE, UTAH.
This Great Dead Sea, the largest in the world,
is located 18 miles west of Salt Lake City. It
covers an approximate area of 2.140 square miles,
being 50 miles wide and .75 miles long with an
average depth of 13 feet. Like the Dead Sea in
Palestine, it is fed by the Jordan River, but has
known outlet other than evaporation. The
Salt Shrimp is the only living insect known to
exist therein. The water is 21 per cent salt and
millions of tons of salt are shipped annually from
this source.
The water of the lake is so heavy one cannot
sink, affording the most delightful bathing in the
world, which is enjoyed by thousands each season.
The Saltair Pavilion is Moorish in design, it
shelters the largest open-air dancing foor in the
world. It houses the lunch pavilion, a thrilling
roller coaster, cafe,
cafe, practically unlimited concrete
automobile parking space, and scores of amusement
concessions. Saltair is reached by a speedy electric
railway in twenty-five minutes or over two splendid
motoring highways,
