RAILROADS AS BOOSTERS
Resources of the 5tate Being Well
Advertised by All Roads
If the railroads traversing Ar
kansas should cease their endeav
ors to attract desirable settlers to
this state, where would the growth
in population be^
L)aily, investors and homeseek
ers are attracted to Arkansas by
the railroads; good people with
money and energy to expend -1*
making Arkansas greater and rich
er. The advertising matter sent
out by the railroads about Arkan
sas and its resources and opportu
nities, is the handsomest, most
comprehensive and most convinc
ing sent out about any state, and
it is true throughout.
The half has not been told of
Arkansas, even by the railroads,
but they have done more to tell
what has been told than any other
agency in the state.
If honor is to be given to whom
honor is due, we must give a bit of
praise to the railroads for the good
work they are doing for the South
and the Southwest. It is true that
they are working for their own
interests in doing this, but their
interests are also the interests of
the country they boost, and where
they benetit themselves some, they
benefit the country they advertise
more.—Jonesboro News.

\ PURPOSES OF A BANK
4
t
r
The purpose of a bank is to be useful
and helpful to a community; to facilitate
business by the exchange and extension of
credits, thereby making it possible to carry
on a vast amount of business with a com
paratively small amount of actual cash.
It is wrong to hoard money and bury
it in some old cellar and thereby take it
entirely out of circulation.
Bring it to this bank, where it will be
much safer and will help to earn you more
money, and yet be at your command.
