EMERALD BAY, LAKE TAHOE 655 9A-H1306 --- Emerald Bay, about midway on the south shore of Lake Tahoe, is surrounded by steep and heavily wooded ridges, which form a magnificent background. The reflections from these green slopes in the waters of this Bay, present a mirror of emerald hue in striking contrast to the deep blues and pale greens of Lake Tahoe beyond. The Bay is about three miles long and over a half mile wide. STANLEY A. PILTZ COMPANY, SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF. POST CARD PLACE STAMP HERE "Pictorial Wonderland" ART TONE SERIES 655
