PLIEZ ET DETACHEZ TO OPEN FOLD AND TEAR OFF TO OPEN FOLD AND TEAR OFF MOUNT ROYAL LOOKOUT More than 650 feet above the broad St. Lawrence, Mount Royal Lookout em- braces a wide panoramic view of Canada's metropolis. Picturesque, horse-drawn hansoms manned by expert "cabbies" climb a tree-lined road through our famous mountain park to a world of surprises. The plan of the city becomes plain at a glance. Great industrial sections along the busy Lachine Canal; the shopping area of mid-town with its departmental stores; sky-scrapers of the downtown financial district; smart suburbs green with the foliage of tree- lined avenues; the gleaming spires of countless churches; lush green squares of parks and playgrounds, all fall into an orderly pattern framed in the distance by the broad waters of the mighty St. Lawrence. A wonderful experience, is this bird's-eye view of Montreal. And when you have feasted your eyes you may turn and walk a few steps to a modern Chalet where ample refreshments are served in a beautiful natural setting.
