 Wherever the boosters stopped they emphasized the fact that Arkansas people should trade in Little Rock and Arkansas, and thereby help the state to grow by keeping the money at home.
 The fact was pointed out that it was just as cheap to buy in Little Rock as 1t was to go to the northern OF east ern marts for the same goods.
 The trip was an educational one 10 the Little Rock men as many had never before relized the size and pro gressiveness of the towns through which the tran passed.
 During the entire trip the train was passing in a fruit belt and at nearly every stop the boosters were present ed with the country's best product.
 Every merchant who made the trip expressed pleasure and qualification at the demonstrations made by the peo- ple visited. There was everywhere such feeling of hospitality that they are arranging to make another trip O. the same kind in the near future.
