 In presenting- this souvenir, if any apology were required, its necessity would 
 soon disappear to any person sojourning at this "Haven of Rest" and enjoying the 
 health, comfort and recreation to be derived. 
 
 The owner, J. L. Steinmetz, of Lancaster, Pa., established this Resort to supply 
 the want for just such a place. 
 
 By reason of the natural advantages "THE COCA LI CO " is without a rival; 
 and in accommodations provided for the comfort of guests, it is unexcelled.

 ^T^HIS booklet is intended to introduce "The Cocauco," and its pleasant 
 \m surroundings. 
 
 The buildings, with their many attractions, together with the natural advan- 
 tages of the best Alkaline Mineral Spring water, salubrious air, varied landscape, 
 beautiful scenery, and most delightful climate, make this an ideal Summer and 
 Winter Resort. 
 
 We will first mention the natural advantages, some historical associations 
 and a descripti( n of the locality.

EPHRATA 
 
 Immediately about you, on the south- 
 western slope of the mountain, is scattered 
 the thriving borough of Ephrata, contain- 
 ing about 3,000 inhabitants, with comfort- 
 able homes, wide streets, shaded avenues and a va- 
 riety of industries ; there are also 
 found here five churches, a large 
 nlk mill, two National banks, cigar factories, three 
 weekly newspapers, stores and shops. 
 The town is large enough to supply the temporary wants 
 of tourists and guests. 
 
 The illumination is by electricity. The brilliant light, from the 
 luminous arcs, reflected through the thoroughfares and over the 
 flower-beds in the handsome lawns, dispels all that is dismal by night. 
 Along the northwestern boundary of the borough is seen the ro- 
 mantic Cocalico Creek, meandering its way through the most fertile and produc- 
 tive farm lands that add so much to the varied landscape. Spanning this historic 
 stream is the old stone arch bridge of the Hore-Shoe turnpike, across- which 
 passed many a stage and Conestoga wagon before railroads and canals were built. 
 Here, also, was one of the earliest paper mills in the United States, one of 
 the industries of the Communistic Society known as the Seventh-Day-Baptists. 
 About the year 1708 a religious society was organized in Germany called the 
 Dunkers.

" From the bridge I leaned to hear 
 The milldam rushing down with noise 
 And see the minnows everywhere 
 In crystal eddies glance and poise."

persecution soon drove them from their homes. 
 
 They emigrated to America, settled near Ephrata and 
 SEVENTH=DAY= for several years scattered in the neighborhood. 
 
 BAPTISTS. Conrad Beissel, the most prominent leader, lived in a 
 cave. They soon re-united and made many converts, 
 the most distinguished of whom was Rev. Peter Miller, of the Reformed Church, 
 who was a most learned man and intimate friend of General Washington. 
 
 He translated the Declaration of Independence into seven different languages. 
 
 The Society established a monastery. 
 
 It purchased a large tract of land and erected the cloister buildings more 
 than 1 50 years ago; you can see them on yonder outskirts along the turnpike. 
 They are of ancient arhitecture and singular appear- 
 ance and are frequently visited by tourists, who 
 find interest in examining the records and relics of 
 the ancient organization. 
 
 The first Sabbath-school in the World was es- 
 tablished here. The Society had its own printing- 
 press — one of 'the first in the country, 
 
 The organization supplied its own wants and 
 soon became independent of 
 CONGRESS. the World. 
 
 When Congress left Philadel- 
 phia and met in Lancaster for safety the Continental money was printed here.

Near the monastery buildings on the knoll you see Mt. Zion Cemetery, in 
 the consecrated ground of which sleep the remains of several 
 iVYT. ZIOIN. hundred patriots who were wounded in the battle of the Bran- 
 dy wine 1777. Until the year 1902 these Revolutionary patriots 
 had no mark for their graves, except a plain board nailed across two upright 
 posts, containing these words : " Heir ruhen die Gebeine von viel Soldaten." 
 
 By means of an appropriation of $5,000 by the State Legislature and contri- 
 butions from patriotic citizens, under the auspices of the "Ephrata Monument 
 Association," the present appropriate and imposing monument was erected to the 
 memory of the Revolutionary Soldiers who fought in the battle of the Brandywine. 
 The monument stands in Mt. Zion Cemetery. It consists of polished Quincy 
 granite, and is from the same quarries as the " Bunker Hill " monument. It is 
 39 feet high, 10 feet square at the base, and the shaft is 30 feet high in one stone. 
 Besides suitable inscriptions, it has in bronze, set in " bas relief," a Continental 
 soldier, cannon, drum, musket, and crossed swords. There are mounted cannon 
 and balls surrounding the monument. Thomas and Miller of Quincy, Mass., 
 were the contractors who erected the monument. 
 
 Col. John Wright, who was in the Revolutionary army, was at the time a 
 resident of Ephrata, and had these wounded soldiers brought here for treatment, 
 on account of the fine climate and medicinal water. They were placed in some 
 of the cloister buildings and the Seventh- Day-Baptists helped to nurse and care 
 for them.

To the northeast 19 miles to Reading, and to the southwest 13 miles to Lan- 
 caster, extends the old highway connecting these two cities for several hundred 
 years. Close by and almost parallel with it is the Reading and Columbia railroad, 
 over which pass three passenger trains daily each way. These trains afford am- 
 ple facilities for the travel of guests from Lancaster, Reading, Harrisburg, Phil- 
 adelphia and other points. A new trolley railway has been built from Lancaster 
 to Ephrata, which runs about 14 miles through one of the most beautiful 
 sections of farm lands in Lancaster county. It passes by the door of this hotel, 
 and is now being extended to the city of Reading The cars run every hour and 
 pass the P. R. R. station in Lancaster. The natural scenery along this trolley 
 is beautiful, classical and picturesque, and affords an inviting pleasure ride. The 
 old Horseshoe turnpike, which was chartered in the year 1803, extends east and 
 west through Ephrata from Philadelphia to Harrisburg. 
 
 A part of this pike has been renewed by the Clay and Hinkletown Turnpike 
 Company and forms a good driveway from Clay to Hinkletown through Ephrata. 
 
 Extending in a northeasterly direction rises Ephrata Mountain. It is a spur of 
 the South Mountain, which ranges to the north and north- 
 MOUINTAINS. west, and divides Lancaster and Lebanon counties. Its 
 highest points are about 1,250 feet above tide- water. 
 
 The mountains surround the most beautiful valley of productive farm lands. 
 
 They are covered with dense forests of chestnut, oak, hickory, cedar, ash, 
 poplar, and other varieties, and protect the lowlands from the severe winds of the 
 north and west.

All along the mountain side can be seen the bubbling springs, from which the 
 
 cool, limpid water flows down the declivities, dripping from rock to rock and 
 
 babbling over pebble and sand ; 
 
 "With many a silvery water-break 
 Above the golden gravel," 
 
 whence it unites with other waters and forms the brooks wherein sport the 
 speckled trout. 
 
 Having descended into the lowlands, these brooks unite and form more pre- 
 tentious streams, like Spring Creek, Trout Run, Mill Creek, Cocaiico, and Con- 
 estoga. 
 
 Through these channels the refreshing waters wind their way from farm to 
 farm, from mill to mill, from village to town, until they are finally absorbed in 
 the greedy Conestoga, which reluctantly empties into the picturesque Susque- 
 hanna at Safe Harbor. 
 
 In this valley are seen some of the richest and most fertile lands in Lancas- 
 ter count)', the garden spot of the State. Every farm is a garden and every 
 lawn a flower bed, the whole forming a beautiful park intersected by smooth and 
 inviting driveways. 
 
 Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter are all beautiful 
 SEASONS. an( j attractive by reason of the varied scenery the successive 
 seasons unfold.

 ing grass, rolling wheat, and growing corn, the new-mown hay, the golden har-

vest, the romantic meadows, the sweet-scented honeysuckle, the golden-rod, the 
 fern, the laurel, the wild flowers, the autumnal tints of brown and yellow, vari- 
 egated with the green, the snow-capped mountains, studded with evergreen, the 
 forest trees covered with ice and icicles glimmering in the bright sunlight, the 
 glorious sunsets ; in all these and many others nature has lavished her favors so 
 that the artist needs no foreign tour to inspire his genius and indulge his talent. 
 Here is quiet beauty that suggests culture, refinement and thrift. The heart 
 must be cold that will not melt under these influences. 
 
 When it is remembered that the vegetable kingdom inhales carbonic acid and 
 exhales oxygen, it will readily be conceded, that all the elements center here to 
 purify and surcharge the air with their healing balm. 
 
 Upon the declivity of the mountain slope where the hotel 
 LOCATION, stands, with its perfect drainage, porous soil and dry atmos- 
 phere, there is no dampness and no malaria. 
 
 The importance of a plentiful supply of the best quality of pure water for 
 drinking and culinary purposes cannot be be over-rated. 
 WATER. The human body is largely composed of water ; it should 
 therefore be drunk freely to assist the vital functions in their op- 
 erations and maintain a healthy condition of the system. 
 
 It is the best medicine in nature and the best conservator of health. Springs 
 are the only safe source for absolutely pure water. 
 
 (19) 
 
Water that has been filtered, boiled or distilled is of little use compared with 
 that of the famous Glacier Springs from which it is conveyed by gravity to 
 every floor of the hotel and furnished ' ' gratis ' ' to the guests. 
 
 The springs are located in an isolated place on the south side of a spur of the 
 Ephrata Mountain. 
 
 The water percolates through a red sandstone formation impregnated with 
 iron and magnesia. 
 
 Here nature has mysteriously compounded its mineral constituents and im- 
 parted unequalled medicinal properties. 
 
 There is no surface drainage or pollution to contaminate it. 
 
 Its purity is also vouchsafed by the analysis, which shows absolute freedom 
 from contaminating influences. 
 
 It has been famous ever since its discovery by the early settlers. 
 
 Professor Leisenring, the eminent German doctor, who 
 was an expert on waters and founded the first Hydropathic In- 
 stitute at Ephrata, considered this the best drinking 
 and table water in existence. 
 
 It is this water in connection with the 
 climate that has always made Ephrata a fash- 
 ionable and favorite resort. 
 
 It is a soft Alkaline Mineral Spring 
 Water. 
 
 It is invaluable in the cure of all forms of kidney disorders.

It is unsurpassed as a drinking and table water. 
 
 It will eliminate all effete material from the blood. 
 
 It will remove uric acid from the system. 
 
 It will dissolve all concretions of Urates, Oxalates and Phosphates. 
 
 Its exclusive use will positively prevent typhoid fever and other germ diseases. 
 
 It is essential in the proper treatment of acute diseases. 
 
 It is indispensable to the most perfect enjoyment of health and comfort. 
 
 The large amount of sickness which results from the use of unwholesome 
 water could all be avoided by drinking this. 
 
 Any person drinking this water will soon be convinced of its superiority over 
 all others. 
 
 That we should know the constituent parts of the watei we drink daily re- 
 quires no argument.

According to the highest authorities on water analysis, good drinking water must not con- 
 tain more than the following number of grains per U. S. gallon : Nitrates, 0.870 ; Chlorine, 
 1.6S0 ; Sulphates, 5. So ; total solids, 29 ; traces, or not any, of Ammonia or Nitrous Acid. 
 
 The analysis of the Glacier Spring Water of Ephrata Mountain shows this to be free of 
 contamination of any kind. 
 
 The natural temperature is about 50 degrees, and always below the danger-line of 60 degrees. 
 
 It contains large quantities of free oxygen and air, giving it a sparkling appearance and 
 pleasant taste. 
 
 The percentage of Carbonates of Calcium and Magnesium, together with traces of Sodium 
 and Potassium, make it a true alkaline mineral water. 
 
 The presence of Sulphate of Magnesium gives the water the properties of the famous Ep- 
 som Salt, used as a hydragogue purgative, in febrile diseases, in congestion of the portal sys- 
 tem, and in constipation of painters' colic. 
 
 The Glacier Spring Water is therefore not only a very superior article for ordinary table use, 
 but is at the same time of medical value, its alkalinity tending o dissolve the concretions of 
 Urates, Oxalates and Phosphates so common in Kidney, Bladder and Khuematic troubles. 
 
 Having personally tested the physiological effects of the water, I can conscientiously rec- 
 ommend its use for the above named purposes.

 By applying this water to the scalp it will prevent the hair from falling out, promote its 
 growth, and keep the head clean of dandruff. 
 
 It is known that more than several centuries ago the Indians frequented this spring and 
 were acquainted with the medicinal and solvent properties of the water, which has been famous 
 ever since its discovery. 
 
 The analysis discloses the relative proportions of the mineral constituent parts which na- 
 ture has compounded in tins water. 
 
 'I he Sulphate of Magnesium is the matchless charm in the water, as it produces a similar 
 effect to Epsom Salt. 
 
 It also contains large quantities of free oxygen and air, giving it a sparkling appearance 
 and pleasant taste. 
 
 To the scientific mind these arc conclusive proofs of its superiority. 
 
 Those who drank the water have found it very beneficial for disordered kidneys, Bright's

disease, disordered stomach, indigestion, nervous prostration, malaria, rheumatism, in all cases 
 of calculus and uric acid conditions and nearly every impaired condition of the functions of 
 the system which it restored to their normal state. 
 
 We therefore take pleasure in recommending this water, not only as a beverage for general 
 drinking and table use, but also for its medicinal and solvent properties.

 CARBONATED. 
 
 The bottling establishment and carbonating machinery are of the most modern type. The 
 public are cordially invited to visit the plant. The water is atomized under a pressure of about 
 300 pounds and then charged. It becomes the most thoroughly saturated water on the market, 
 by reason of its great porosity, due to the specific gravity and large amount of free oxygen and 
 air contained in its natural state.

Most mineral waters are too strongly impregnated and frequently do more 
 harm than good. 
 
 A soft alkaline mineral spring water is the best for the system for all pur- 
 poses, for the reason that it can be drunk without limit and will assist the vital 
 organs in their natural functions better than anything else. 
 
 Person ordering "Glacier Spring" water from local agents or the Company 
 for drinking and culinary purposes, should observe that none is genuine without 
 the "Tiade Mark " on next page. 
 
 The climate of Ephrata, all the year round, is one of its greatest attractions. 
 There are no extremes of heat and cold. In winter, on account 
 CLIMATE, of the dry atmosphere, the weather is mild, and during the 
 summer the heat does not become oppressive and the air humid. 
 The breezes from the south and the gentle zephyrs of the north are always cool 
 and refreshing on account of the topography of the country in the neighborhood. 
 The densely shaded mountains, with their springs and brooks, the fertile low- 
 lands and rich meadows with their winding streams, the sappy trees and moisture 
 in vegetation all combine to cool and refresh the atmosphere. These physical 
 characteristics remind you of Wiesbaden, one of the most renowned watering 
 places in Europe. Our South Mountain ranges are very similar to the Taurus 
 which encircles one of the most beautiful and fertile districts in the valley of the 
 Rhine.

recreation, while those who are afflicted will always find comfort and relief by 
 inhaling the pure mountain air and drinking freely of the health-giving crystal 
 waters fresh from the springs. Here no sanitarium is required. Here no pois-

 Many testimonials could be furnished from persons who were greatly bene- 
 fited. 
 
 The description with its illustrations will give only a faint idea of this mag- 
 nificent hostelrv, built in 1S96, with accommodations for two hun- 
 « THE 
 COCA 1 ICO " dred guests. It has all the modern improvements, and is up to 
 
 date in every respect. The buildings are finished in hard wood, 
 except the bed-rooms. All the floors are in tile and hard wood. 
 
 The main building is five stories high, colonial style. 
 
 A handsome and commodious annex (Queen Anne st3 r le) is connected with 
 the main hotel building by porches 117 feet long, which are entered through a 
 peristyle 15 feet wide and extending back between the buildings 100 feet. 
 
 This handsome entrance and extensive porches make a most delightful re- 
 treat for guests. 
 
 The annex, besides containing the most inviting rooms, has a beautiful sun 
 parlor, which is enclosed in chipped glass of sixteen different colors. 
 
 There are parlors and bath-rooms on every sleeping floor. Besides the hot and 
 cold mineral baths, provision is made for steam, electric and vapor baths under 
 experienced supervision.

 The chambers are models of cleanliness, neatness and comfort ; they are ab^ 
 solutely free from flies and mosquitos ; they are supplied with large and conven-. 
 ient closets, through which most of the bedrooms communicate ; they are all con-- 
 nected with the office with electric return call bells ; the floors are covered with 
 woolen carpets in solid colors, under which is placed a thick medicated lining ; 
 these carpets harmonize with the tints on the walls and ceilings ; the bedsteads 
 are brass and enameled, have wire springs, comfortable mattresses, and the very 
 best bedding, entirely new and fresh ; the rooms are well ventilated ; besides the 
 outside windows, there are large transoms and ventilators in the bottom rails of 
 the doors, thereby insuring constant circulation. 
 
 The bedrooms, parlors and corriders are so arranged that families can be ac^ 
 commodated with from two to six rooms en suite. 
 
 The main office with its handsome gallery, the ladies' reception-room, the 
 graceful staircase, library, reading and writing-room, all finished in quartered 
 oak and connected with each other through large folding doors, are very beauti-. 
 ful and convenient. 
 
 These rooms are also made cheerful by the introduction of open fire places, 
 with tiles and artistic mantels. The gas-log in the ladies' reception room and 
 the splendid light fixtures and chandeliers deserve mention.

ing are artistically tinted and decorated. The floor is of maple and waxed, with 
 here and there a fine rug. The decorated china, silver and glassware, the fine 
 smooth linen, together with all the choice table appointments, tend to sharpen the 
 appetite for the many toothsome dishes for which the cuisine is already noted. 
 
 The bar, wine, billiard and pool rooms are located on the basement floor with 
 entrance from L,ake street, so that no noise can disturb the quietude of the 
 guests, whose entrance to the hotel is from Main street. There is a beautiful 
 ladies' cafe, handsomely furnished with special entrance. 
 
 The bar is stocked with the choicest liquors. Billiards, pool and shuffle- 
 boards are provided for the amusement of guests. The ball-room has a waxed 
 maple floor for dancing. 
 
 The illumination is by electricity and gas from a plant on the premises and 
 the buildings are heated throughout with steam. 
 
 The walls are plastered in adamant and tinted. All the appointments and fur- 
 niture are first-class in every respect. 
 
 The entire outfit of the kitchen, butler's pantry, lavatory, dining-rooms, 
 and, in fact, the entire building, is the very best. 
 
 The cuisine department will always be maintained at the highest standard. 
 
 Arrangements are made to have the table supplied constantly with an abun- 
 dance of every seasonable vegetable, from the surrounding country. 
 
 Great care is taken in the selection of cooks and waiters, and no guest will 
 ever have cause to complain. 
 
 The sanitation is as perfect as science can make it. All the drain pipes have

the latest improved traps. They connect with large soil pipes which extend 
 above the roof with open vents and enter a large underground private ventilated 
 sewer that extends to a public stream. This sewer is open at both ends, so 
 that the pure air circulates through it to prevent the formation of sewer gas. 
 
 For protection against fire there is a large water pipe extending from the 
 basement to the top of the building, to which is attached on each floor, a line of 
 two-inch hose with nozzle. For further security against fire, a number of chemi- 
 cal fire extinguishers are placed throughout the buildings. There is also an im- 
 proved fire escape. 
 
 The water pressure is about 90 pounds to the square inch. 
 
 The outside of the buildings are constructed of sandstone, 
 brick, pebble dash, slate and tin. It will, therefore, be seen that 
 '^^.j* m there is almost absolute security against fire. 
 
 The hotel is open all the year round, for the 
 reason that there is nowhere to be found a place 
 which possesses as many natural advantages as 
 "»» Ephrata for an all-year-round resort. 
 
 A fine livery of gentle riding and driv-
