Back Text (verbatim):
GREAT SALT LAKE, 18 miles west of Salt
Lake City, Utah, is an inland sea covering an
area of 2,000 square miles – 75 miles long
with a maximum width of 50 miles. It con-
tains a higher percentage (21%) of common
salt than any other large body of water in
the world. Bathers enjoy the exhilarating ex-
perience of swimming in its water, so buoyant
that it is impossible to sink. Saltair is a
unique pleasure resort built on the shore of
the lake. Its dance pavilion is one of the
largest in the world.
