Boulder: A Progressive Mountain Town. 1908.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/427387459

This folder contains a photocopy of a five-page magazine article entitled "Model Residence Towns. Boulder: A Progressive Mountain Town." Written by Cora Curtis Long, it was published in the November 1908 issue of "Good Housekeeping." It was the fifth article in their series of Model Residence Towns. The four earlier articles were on Pasadena, California; Richmond, Indiana; Wellesley, Massachusetts; and Augusta, Georgia. The author reports on nearly every aspect of life in Boulder. She wrote "Almost purely residential, it is the home of a high class of citizens. There is no slum problem to be solved, no smoke nuisance to be settled. And yet, unlike so many residence towns, Boulder offers a home to the man who must labor with his hands." Also, "Boulder is a veritable bower of verdure during the summer months. This enhancement of her natural charms the town owes to the good taste of the inhabitants and to the eternal vigilance of the tree commissioner." And, "Small wonder is it that the town has acquired an enviable reputation as a health center. To this place come the ill and exhausted, to breathe in health and strength with the ozone-laden, pine-scented air."
