GEORGE DARBY OPENS
 MILL SUPPLY HOUSE
New Company Establishes Itself in Big Building at 307 West Second
 Avenue

The George P. Darby Supply Com- pany yesterday opened a machinery and mill supply business at 307 West Second avenue, the location occupied until recently by the Senyard Motor Car Company. The new business is headed by George P. Darby, one of the best known machinery and mill supply men in the south.
 Dr. Darby came to Pine Bluff about 12 years ago, resigning the manage ment of the Camden Machinery con- pany to locate here and organize the Arkansas Mill Supply company. Un- der the direction of MT. Darby this company achieved a remarkable sue cess, and when it suffered a heavy fire loss about two years ago it has become statewide business which had been built up from a very small beginning.
 Since the disastrous fire of the old- CT concern, MT. Darby has been trav- cling out of Little Rock for mach inery house. He is known over wide area as one of the best posted men on machinery and mill supplies in this section of the country, and is looked upon as an authority.
 In view of MT. Darby's past sue cesses the new business seems assur- ed of prosperous future. The com- pany has secured the exclusive state agency for several widely known lines and is also handling complete line of machinery and supplies of aH kinds.
