advantages equal to any city of its
size in the United States and vastly
superior to many. Buyers from all
:. the large establihments make two
trips east and north each year for
the purpose of buying the latest STYLES
and patterns to be offered to the
trade in Pine Bluff. and the trade al
ways gets the best that can be had
're'''ly from the eastern markets.
About Christmas times the dry goods
stores always present a handsome ap.

at the larger stores are also consid-
Si6ered gala occasions among the la
dies, and many attractive STYLES and
kinds of goods are offered Pine

Pine Bluff 5 Retail Buyiness

The last city directory issued by
the Adams Printing company in 1903
contained 9.515 names. which did not
include those of married women and
children. There are in all about
10000 people who live in the city
Of Pine Buff. To supply these people
with the necessities CT life and such
Iuxuries as they may desire, many
business houses for retail trade have
been established in Pine Bluff since
she first corner grocery and general
merchandise store was built away
back in the thirties. The retail bus
mess grows with that of the city,
and Pine Bluff merchants all express
themselves as being thoroughly sat
isfed with the trade they have had
during the year. Every class of legit-
innate business is represented by a
substantial house in this city today
and the various lines of business are
growing each year. More and better
groceries, dry goods, drugs, shoes.
meats and other houses were estab-
1ished in Pine Bluff last year
than ever before. and all do
a fine busines. One feature of
the trade in Pine Bluff is that
the people of the city to a large ex-
tent patronize home industry and very
little, if any, retail trade goes out
OF the city. Every business house is
now rushed with the holiday trade
and the merchants say they have all
they can do. Great things are planned
for next year and the year 1905 will
be entered upon with larger capital
stock and an increased business along
all lines.
The people of Pine Bluff spend in
round numbers $4,000 900 each year
for groceries,
An additional 100000 is to be adj
ded to this for meat and it is thus
estimated that it costs Pine Bluff
ahcut $2.700 600 for something to eat
1t takes about S1,5O0,OO0 to put
clothes on the backs and about $227.-
500 to keep shoes on their feet the
year round.
While the city is deemed more
healthy than the average city in Ar
kansas, the drug stores get about
S200,0o0 annually from the people for
medicine.
The furniture men charge about
$4,000 for furnishing the homes.
Forty thousand dollars are spent
