l.l. printed: HIGH ON A RUGGED granite mountain in the Black \ Hills of South Dakota the colossal task of car- \ ving the figures of George Washington, Thomas \ Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt is \ being carried on by Gutzon Borglum, famous sculptor. \ The largest sculpture ever attempted by Man, the Mt. \ Rushmore National Memorial will endure as long as \ the solid granite mountain itself. Words can never \ describe the majesty and gigantic proportions of the \ mighty work, but the following dimension might give \ some idea of its size:

l.r. printed: The figures of the four great Americans are all \ sealed to a man 465 feet tall. The faces are 60 ft. \ from top of head to chin (60 feet is the height of a \ five-story building!) Each nose is as large as the \ entire heaf of the Sphinx of Egypt. The eyes measure \ nine feet across, and the mouths 18 ft. in width. The \ buttons on Washington's coat will be 6 feet across! \ The Memorial is 6200 feet (more than a mile) in total \ altitude, and towers 500 feet above the studio across \ the valley. The work is made possible by special ap- \ propriations by Congress. © Rise Studio #800
