They have many enemies, too. The

We wish that everyone in the

that Arkansas development can
best be sered by stating the plain
honest, unvarnished facts about

bilities. It is in this way only
that the outsider can be induced

The 900 Reasons Why We
are Proud of Arkansas" issued
by the Arkansas Advancement
Association, is attracting capi-
tai to the state in large qualities.
A large Pennsylvania mining
corporation has sent to the Ar
kansas Advancement Associa-
ton coal items clipped from this
sheet, saying that if the state
ments can be verified, this COM
pany has large amount OF mon
ey to invest in Arkansas. The
Pennsylanians were cited to
government bulletins in order to
substantiate the claims of the
Advancement Association, and a
representative of this company
is now in Arkansas looking over
coal lands. A San Francisco
hardwood concern has written
for statistics regarding Arkan-
sas' hardwood production and as
to the extent of the standing tim
Der. The letter has been referr-
ed to the Hardwood Manufacture
ers' Association. AS the Califor-
MIA concern intimated that one
of its officials intended soon to
come to Arkansas, this company
can also be expected to make
heavy investments in the state.
During the past week 10000
copies of 1900 Reasons Why We
