Series 2B91
I was an artist until 1937 when too much paint got into my system and I was forced to give up this work. In 1938 I started out for the San Francisco World's Fair, arriving in 1939. Soon after my arrival I shipped my outfit back to Colorado and then started for the New York World's Fair. I arrived in New York in 1940 and was back again in Colorado in 1941. The touring menagerie has traveled from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from Canada to the Mexican border. One of the most interesting features of the menagerie is the six year old ox who weighs 1500 pounds. The Menagerie makes about ten miles a day. I was born in Indiana and now in 1943 am fifty-five years old. I have spent most of my time in the West since 1916

Twisted, ghostlike they stands-warders of the eternal snows.

Description:
Out Where the West Begins Out where the handclap's a little stronger, Out where the smile dwells a little longer. That's where the West begins; Out where the sun is a litle brighter, Where the snows that fall are a trifle whiter, Wher the bonds of home are a wee bit tighter, That's where the West begins. Out where the skies are a trifle bluer, Out where friendship's a litle truer, Taht's where the West begins; Out where a fresher breeze is blowing, Where threr's laughter in every streamlet flowing, Where there's more of reaping and less of sowing, That's where the West begins. Out where the world is in the making, Where fewer hearts with despair are aching, That's where the West begins; Where there's more of singing and less of buying. And a man make friends without That's where the West begns. "Out Where the West Begins" is a peom famoous around the world as defining the spirit of the West more efectively than any thing yet writte. It was written by Arthur Chapman, then a reporter on a Denver newspaper on the occasion of a dispute as to the real boundary of the West. The poem and Mt. Holy Cross are two symbols of the marvelous West that are familiar to all.

Colorado
Scenic (CO), Linen unused
Description:
One of the reasons why Colorado is the playgorund of America. There's a place where the gold of heaven Just rips when sunsets glow. Where the picuturesque pine and the coy columbine And the timberline mignonette grow. There's a region of wonderful whispers That drift through the nation-old trees There are purples and red, in the shifting cloud-beds That change with each echoful breeze. There are valleys that yet are nameless And mountains that spike the sky And the regal blue spruce, that e're will produce A charm to seduce the eye. There are canyons that yawn as they grip you. There are sentinel rocks austere - There are operas unsung there are pictures unhung And silences made to hear. Tis a storehouse of luring landscapes. Colorado - the home of the dawn. The rare land of fancy and tru necromancy Where fairies n vacany spawn. You have stilledus ad thrilled us with wonder You have shown us the old earth in yourth. From somewhere cut yonder, you taught us to ponfrt On lessons of infinite truth. Clem Yore, the authour of this poem. whose home is in Estes park, is a well known writer whose name is often seen in the leading magazines. Colorado is a land of perpetual enchantment for the lover of nature and the great out-of-doors. There is a greater variety of mountains scenery within its borders than in any other state, and 46 of the 59 highest peaks in the U. S. are found in Colorado.
