    u.l. printed: Fred Harvey \ TRADE MARK

    u.l. printed: Acoma has been termed "the City in the sky". \ It is located in a beautiful valley 7,000 feet above \ the sea, upon the top of a mesa which itself is \ 357 feet above the floor of the valley. It is the \ "home of half a thousand quaint lives and of half \ a thousand years of romance". The pueblo is really \ three giant buildings running east and west a \ thousand feet and rising forty feet high. Each \ building is several hundred feet long but cut by \ cross walls into separate little homes. The rear \ wall is straight, the front is terraced and looks \ like three gigantic steps.
