 Pine Bluff merchants, realizing the importance of reaching the trade in counties adjoining Jefferson and knowing that newspaper advertising is the most effective way to reach them and impress upon out-of-town
 buyers the importance of doing their trading in this city, are appeal ing to the thousands of visitors at Star City today through the Graphic
 which is forced to issue a larger edition than usual on account of It's
 heavy advertising patronage. Special
 representatives of the Graphic will
 distribute three thousand issues o1
 this paper at Star City this morning at an early hour. The edition is one
 of the most attractive, from al ad- vertising standpoint, that has ever been issued here for such an oc.
 casion, and in addition to the thous'
 ands who will read it at Star City this
 morning will be the several thousand subscribers in this city and at all towns along the Cotton Belt and Iron
 Mountain railroads, which are reach
 ed in. many instances by this paper
 before the breakfast hour.
