pete with factories in the North, we
have only to point with pride to the
wagon stock factory of J. M. Gibson, of
Jacksonport.
Mr. Gibson, a native of Birmingham,
Van Buren County, Iowa, came to Ar
' kansas 21 years ago with $1.50 to his
credit and not an acquaintance in the
county. For a number of years he stud
ied the lumber business as an employe
of others, but now he is the owner of a
prosperous and expanding business in
the manufacture of hickory single and
doubletrees and neck yokes for wagons,
buggies and implements.
He employs only skilled labor and
puts on the market 50 car loads of hick
ory goods per annum, selling to all
points south, west and north. The Jack
sonport Singletree Company is the prop
erty of Mr. Gibson, which does a job
bing business in the finished singletree,
painted or varnished, ironed and ready
for use. Mr. Gibson is a very progres
sive and public-spirited citizen, who is
widely known and highly respected in
this section.

Robert W. Anderson, a native of In
diana, came to Arkansas with his father’s
family when a mere lad, locating in
Jacksonport, which has ever since been
his home. In 1866, just at the close of
the war, he began business as a mer
chant and his store is at present the
leading establishment of its kind in the
town.
In drugs and general merchandise he
carries a diversified stock to supply the
demands of a large trade from the sur
rounding rich agricultural section. Aside
from extensive property interests in his
home town, Mr. Anderson is the owner
of valuable land in cultivation both in
the bottoms and in the uplands and also
good timber lands.
No citizen of Jacksonport is more
ready to respond to the calls of munici
pal enterprise and public spirit than Mr.
Anderson, and he has not only made a
success of his private business by his
energy and progressiveness, but is held
in high esteem among the people of
Jacksonport as a valuable and worthy
citizen.

| TUCKERMAN |
♦♦♦♦«♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦
TUCKERMAN is a thriving little
town of 500 people. It is one of
the oldest towns in the state, but
has recently taken on new growth and
bids fair to be an important town of this
section. Its location in the heart of
some of the richest farming country to
be found in the United States, together
with the fine railroad facilities offered
it by the main line of the Iron Moun
tain Railroad, makes it a most desirable
point for various manufacturing and
other business enterprises. A number
of men have quietly made fortunes in
this village, but others are finding out
the good things offered by Tuckerman
and the town is getting in some new
blood that bids fair to cause the town
to take on a growth that will astonish
some of its larger neighbors. As it is,
there are about 10,000 bales of cotton
shipped from this town annually, to say
nothing about the large quantity of corn,
alfalfa, hogs and cattle. The land for
many miles around Tuckerman will
average one-half bale of cotton per acre.
Almost all lines of business are repre
sented, but there is a fine opportunity
at this point for the location of small
factories, thus enabling and furnishing
opportunity for more competition in *the
lines already represented.
Tuckerman is noted for its healthful
ness and good society. A good school is
conducted nine months out of the year
and a number of religious bodies are
represented, there being some sort of
religious service every Sunday. The
people are law-abiding, well educated
and will make good neighbors.
The soil in the immediate vicinity of
Tuckerman has just enough sand in it
to keep the streets from ever getting
very muddy. With but little work a fine
drainage system could be established.

♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦
This firm is incorporated under the
laws of Arkansas with a capitalization of
$40,000. The officers are: President, J.
A. Greenhaw; vice-president, S. W.
Harvey; secretary and treasurer, J. B.
Slayden. All of these gentlemen are na
tives of Arkansas and have for many
years lived in the vicinity of Tuckerman.
Mr. Greenhaw is also the present post
master at Tuckerman, but has turned
most of the business of that office over
to his son, A. Greenhaw.
The firm of Harvey-Greenhaw have a
very large stock of all kinds of mer
chandise. They not only have every
thing a person may want to eat and
wear, but they handle wagons, buggies,
sewing machines and all kinds of farm
ing implements by the car load. It re
quires a room 50x80 and a wareroom of
the same size to hold their large stock.
I his firm has only been in business
since December 15, 1904, but during that
time they have shown such marked abil
ity as hustlers that their business has
been built up by leaps and bounds. Some
of the old-timers, who thought they had
everything in that vicinity their own
way, have been made to rub their eyes
and wake up to the fact that somebody
else was in town besides them. The firm
of Harvey-Greenhaw Mercantile Com
pany always shows a public spirit and is
willing to live and let live. This liberal
and broad-minded policy has made them
a host of friends throughout that entire
community and it is becoming a recog
nized fact that the name Harvey-Green
haw has become a synonym for fairness,
progressiveness and square dealing.
This is one of the handsomest stores
in the town of Tuckerman. Mr. Smith
does not carry so large a stock as some
of the other merchants, but he has some
thing of almost everything and it is all
neatly and tastefully arranged. When
entering Mr. Smith’s store one is im
pressed with the fact that there is a
good stock keeper in connection with
it, and as you reach the rear of the store
and find seated in the office a man with
a keen eye and a quick business move
ment you at once feel justified in ad
dressing him as the proprietor, Mr.
Smith.
Mr. Smith is special agent for Inter
national Harvesting Company, Champion
harvesting machines, Elliott anti-rust
tinware and Alfred Peats prize wall
paper. His store is on the corner of
Main and Second streets, one block from
the passenger depot.
