 There vii also be established at the same place the Arkansas Stock Yards, with all the modern stock yard conyeuiences and advantages, to- gether with exchange building, audi torium, sales barns, quarantine yards and dripping pens, with q constant supply of stock for show purposes.
 The advantage of being located in the heart of the country, from which the plant will draw it's material, is apparent. The saving of double freight, and the decreased cost of la- bor alone will more than pay the small cost of putting our product on the Arkansas market, not to mention the numerous other items of expense saved to the company by being locat- ed outside of big city, in the heart of the great stock raising section, Pine Bluff, the Arkansas River. the new railroad and bridge opening up it's resources
 The plant will be equipped with two sixty-ton ice refrigerating ma chimes, two one hundred and twenty five horse power boilers, two one hun- dred and one forty horse. power aux Hilary engines, ten room coolers, stor- age room and beef and hog knocking pens. The coolers and loading plat forms will be equipped with overhead tracking and track scales. The lard and tallow rooms will be furnished completely with modern machinery, as will the entire plant throughout every department.
 The management intends to begin 1 killing about one hundred beeves, two hundred and fifty hogs and one sheep per day, depending upon the available supply of hogs, cattle and sheep. The boiler and | engine rooms, as we'll as the entire space, are being built | large enough to permit doubling our capacity without enlarging the build ing. It has been found that while the farmers are rapidly turning their attention to stock raising, the annual output of beef, cattle, hogs and sheep will not justify the installation of a larger plant at the present time.
 This plant will be managed and op- erated by one Of the most thoroughly and successful indepen- dent packers in America, a man with | ten years of practical and successful experience in construction, purchase and erection of equipment, purchase, of supplies, sales and distribution of products, employing helpers to manu- facture and handle all products.
 This will be an Arkansas instition owned by Arkansas people and Ark l ansas people deriving the benefits | from the same.
