Texarkana Host to Editors

and Industry
and Industry

the greatest city Of It's size IN the
entire South. AS to the homes on
both sides of the state line, wealth is
to be found in abundance.
AS to banking facilities, few cities
are in class with Texarkana. There
are six banks there, each of them
sound as the rock Of Gibraltar. and
the aggregate deposits amount to be.
tween five and six million dollars.
They have ample reserve bank connec.
lions.
The editorial party was taken on an
auto ride to many of the forty-nine
manufacturing establishments in Tex
arkana, and that the editors were sur.
prised and amazed at their size and
the volume of annual output is putting
1t mildly. These 40 manufacturing
plants turn out finished products to
a number greater than one hundred
One of the greatest advantages oil
TeXarkana as an industrial center is
the fact that the territory contiguous
furnishes an apparently inexhaustible
supply of wood and other fuel, such

available timber supply can be safely
estimated at 100000 acres, principal,

"Texarkana is the gateway to the
Golden West but it is my belief it al
a. is the very center and heart OF a
section of golden opportunities" re-
marked one of the editors at the for
tv-fourth annual convention of the Ar
Kansas Press Association in that city
the early part of this week, and this
belief seemed to prevail generally
among the editors, their wives and
their guests, who were given an OPP
nortunity to Judge for Themselves as
TO the exceptional opportunities which
are found in the Twin Cities.
Opportunity knocks but once" is
an old saying, but literally this does
not apply to Texarkana, inasmuch as
the opportunity is ever present there,
rather seelIRg the man than that the
man should seek it.
Following the Monday afternoon
business session of the press conven-
ton. through the generosity of the au-
tomobile owners of Texarkana-and
there are many generous ones among
them-the editors were taken on an
automobile ride over the Twin Cities,
shown the wonderful improvements

organ recital rendered the guests in
the Congregational Church Mrs. Co
zia Hynson Case, an organist whose
Well-earned reputation is not confined
to the boundaries of Arkansas, Texas,
Oklahoma and Louisiana, conducted
the recital on the echo organ, one OF
the finest instruments ever introduced
in this section of the country, and the
second one in the entire South, the
only other one being at Dallas. Mr..
Edward Johnston, manager of the
Little Rock branch of the Western
Newspaper Union, sang several solos
that added greatly to the occasion.
and the ladies of the first families of
the Twin Cities were in the receiving
line to bid the visitors welcome. The
recital was such as few cities could
present, and the visitors and their
wives were profuse in their express
sions of appreciation.
Tuesday evening the magnificent
TeXarkana Country Club was thrown
open to the editorial delegation and
a dance and reception was enjoyed.
The banquet Monday night was one of
the greatest affairs of it's kind ever
attempted by Texarkana, and was a
browning success to the efforts of the
local newspaper men there. Hon. Lee
J. Roundtree, president of the Ma
tional Editorial Association, was
among the visitors, and made a brief
talk at the banquet, as we'll as at the
business sessions of the convention.
Another prominent visitor at the meet
ing was Walter B. Whitman, publisher

distance of the city.
The 40 factories employ approx
mately 1000 men. 1t is estimated
there are employed as wage earners
within the Twin Cities a total of 5000
persons, entailing monthly pay roll
Of $250,000. The total value of the
products from the TeXarkana facto-
ries in 1914 was $3,126.000, and the
present year bids fair to show an in
crease of almost Is per cent over
hose figures.
With it's geographical location at
the corners of four states. TeXarkana
is blessed with railroad facilities SUCH
as no other city of like size in the
United States enjoys. Other cities
NAV have more carriers entering
them. but none with lines diverging
to a more resourceful territory. There
are nine separate lines entering Tex
arkana, affording ready shipping facli-
tiles in any direction and placing the
output of Texarkana factories ana
farms in close and constant toucn
with the marketing centers of the
world
Thus Texarkana, while actually the
gateway to the great Southwest, also
is virtually the gateway to the -FOUR
states. and as result there can De

themselves with laurel wreaths in

freight rates, interstate or intrastate,
that makes for the shippers an easy
basis on wnlcn TO get their goods
through this inland port of entry. It
is conservatively estimated an aver
age of $4,000 to $4,000 people daily
pass through this city in their travels
north or south or east or west.
Texarkana is city of beautiful
and costly homes, Of we'll kept lawns,
neatly cleaned streets, and of parks
wherever there happens to be a va
cant lot, most of which is due to the
Civic League, the members of which
are never idle. With the aid of the
Boy Scouts, and from subscriptions
literally made each month, the Civic
League ladies keep a white wing
officer who attends to the task of
keeping the streets clean and the
parks in 1rst-class condition.
Many improvements are about to
be undertaken in Texarkana. The
Texarkana Water Corporation is now
engaged in laying larger and addition
| u water mains for better fire protec-
tlpn, this work to cost $4,000; the
S, Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern
hallway is preparing to pave four
Docks along it's right of way in the
vholesale district, work which will
cost approximately 100000 the en-
tire Arkansas side of the city has
f'een included in a street paving dis
trict, and So blocks are to be paved
suttered and otherwise improved at
an estimated cost of between $780,
900 and $400,000 This work is to
start within the next four to six
weeks, it was stated. Other improve
ments, either now under way or con-
templated, include the double track
Ing of their line to Fulton by the Iron
Mountain; the building of so miles
of improved highway from TeXarkana
to tine Red River crossing at Fulton;
another highway to the Louisiana
line, and in Bowie county, the Texas
side of the city, an expenditure of
more than 100000 is to be made in
the building of public highways, so
chat Texarkana will soon be the hub
of perfect network of good roads
Four national highways are to pass
through TeXarkana.
One Of the greatest advantages &C.
cruing to TeXarkana is the fact that
1t is situated in the very center of
one of the greatest producing belts in
this entire section. The variety and
quantity Of products cannot be ex-
celled anywhere. The soils are gray
sandy loan, loan and clay, merging
into brown and black sandy loans,
and clay in the river bottoms. Fruits,
vegetables garden truck of every
known variety, feed stuffs-all are
prolific producers in this SOIL The
growing of grapes is an industry
which has had a wonderful progress
during recent years, and this luscious
fruit bids fair to become one of the
chief products of the soil in that sec
ton.
Farm lands in the vicinity of Tex
arkana range in value probably lower
than anywhere in the United States
in proportion to their productiveness.
The average value per acre in Miller
county is Sab, with a yield of $2204
per acre, while in Bowie county the
average is forty cents per acre higher.
During their stay in Texarkana the
editors were very forcibly impressed
