 It was over twenty years ago that Elijah Bossorman of Denver. Col, made his first visit to this city.
 Then he came once year. never missing season since that time. His first visit, he told me convinced him that the climate here was ideal and | Ee believed there were such potent healing properties in the hot waters that could not be found in any other spa in the United States.
 MT. Bosserman is essentially a cat- tleman. He grew up with tlne west" and much of his time has been spent OF the praries or the ranges ad- jacent to the Rockies. He was keen business man and he devoted his energies to promoting good stock He soon became recognized as a very representative stockman, and several years ago, with the money he had earned in this business. ne organized the Colorado Live Stock and Loan Company and was elected president. Then Pueblo, Col conceived the idea that it. too, should have an organiza. ton of this kind, so Bosserman got a company together there and was elected president of it. Throughout the west his name is associated with the best in the battle and hog market.
 Several weeks ago Mr. Bosserman and his brother came to Hot Springs. In all of his visits to Arkansas he had been gathering information concern. ing the state, its products and data on it's live stock As stated before, he liked Hot Springs, and he wanted to locate here. He called at the Business Mems League and opened up with a voley of questions that kept officials there on the jump, and then he stated that, provided he could get sufficient ground for cor ral and feeding headquarters. he wouldn't mind investing a few thou sand dollars in this city and start, upon a small scale, a cattle and hog market here.
 Three blocks east of the Memphis, Dallas and Gulf railroad he found the land that suited his purposes and ob- tained a lease on the same and the Elijah Bosserman Live Stock Com pany is the result Mir. Bosserman has also opened offices at 329 Market street
 of is ,,,,- intention +o l,,- ro1 fatten and sell hogs and cattle,' he explained to me at the League yes terday and I know there is some good stock in Arkansas. In the event that the ground ! have picked out here gets too crowded-for l intend to buy all the cattle and Aogs I can get hold of have made arrange ments with cattlemen, who are friends of mine and who have large ranches in northern Oklahoma. to use their pasture for grazing grounds, and I believe success will be mine in Arkansas as it has been in Colorado. |
 This is ,one of the greatest health | resorts in the United States. The l trouble is that everyone in the United States does not know the value of the hot springs here and do | not appreciate how rich Arkansas is l in its undeyeloped resources. This is | destined, ia few years to be one of l the greatest states in the Union, and | I shall certainly endeayor to do my | part towards making this possible"
 When MT Bosserman let it be | known that he was contemplating | going in business in this city he re Quested an investigation of his stand | ing be made by certan business men | in Hot Springs which at his re- quest, was done, and the rating he re ceived from banking institutions in | Denver leaves no doubt that he is | most substantial citizen. He is a very agreeable man to converse with, | makes friends readily and already | has large number of persons truly | anxious that his venture in Arkansas | may prove as successful and grow as big as his business in Colorado.
