"Rosie," as the popular pachyderm was called, was brought here as a publicity stunt by pioneer developer Carl G. Fisher . . . but she proved an invaluable asset hauling heavy construction materials, as well as providing entertainment for the children of laborers. Today, most of the original resort hotels Rosie helped to build are gone, but the trend of providing the finest facilities available for vacationers and conventioneers lives on, as delegates to the 1968 Republican National Convention are discovering this week."
