	+ July 6, 1957, ''["Adirondack Daily Enterprise"]'' + + '''Scenic Tour On Lake Flower''' + + By JEAN FREEMAN + + Our guidepost points the way to scenic boat rides through the Adirondacks' most beautiful lake and mountain country. One of the oldest liveries in the North Country, Thomas Boat Livery at 35 River st. on Lake Flower, offers to the tourist one of the most famous and unique boat rides in the Eastern United States. + + First serving the public in 1900, Thomas Boat Livery schedules daily cruises at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. and speed boat rides at any time. Featured tours include the trip to the so-called "Honeymoon Isle" and to the State ["Locks"]. + + The most beautiful, and perhaps the best known trip offered by Rolin Thomas, your host and owner operator of the Livery, that to the Lower Saranac Lake. The trip is thirty-two miles Iong. Starting at the dock on Lake Flower, the launch "Miss Saranac," takes you through the Saranac into ["Oseetah Lake"], through the State ["Locks"] and into the second and first ponds. + + "Lake of the Clustered Stars" was the name the Indians gave to Lower Saranac. There are few lakes in the Adirondacks comparable to this lake of many islands. The "Miss Saranac" makes a complete tour of the lake and returns by the same route to the docks. + + Words cannot, of course, adequately describe the scenic grandeur that may be viewed along the way. Here may be seen the home of the Algonquin and Iroquois tribes, who named the lakes and rivers. The entire trip into the wilds steeped in Indian legend and lore takes three hours. + + In the old days, there were two boats that ran the Lower Saranac route. They were the "Adirondack" and the "Pollyanna," both double-decker boats that could carry 150-175 passengers. Among the famous passengers who have ridden on the Thomas boats was entertainer ["Al Jolson"]. + + Mr. Thomas, who came to Saranac Lake from Maine at the turn of the century, makes his home at 102 River St. with his family. Speaking with him a short time ago, we learned that he has very interesting plans for the future. + + The keel has been set and construction begun on a replica of a Mississippi River steamboat from copies supplied by the State Library in Albany. + + This model, complete with paddle wheel, is being-fashioned from Marine plywood and oak ribbing. It will be propeller driven by inboard motor until the paddle wheel is perfected. + + Strictly for kids, the name of the new steam boat will be the "Nancy Carol," after Mr. Thomas' two daughters. + + All captains and boats of the Thomas Boat Livery are licensed for the public's safety and comfort. Operating throughout the summer months, the trip on the Lower Saranac is a thrill that tourists and natives alike long remember. + -----
