BIGGEST DEAL IN
LOCAL HISTORY
(Continued from page 1).
newspaper advertising campaign
throughout the United States, using I
a photograph both of Mr. Collison and
his store.
Mr. Collison stayed at home and
stuck to business—and system. His
neighbors began to know him better,'
to recognize in him many fine traits
of character heretofore kept to him
self. His friends grew in number,
for it was soon learned that honesty,
as well as system, was one of his
hd es.
. Collison bought land. He paid
th armer a fair price for anything
he had to sell. As he accumulated a
few dollars he invested it safely.
Soon this “hole-in-the-wall,” which
represented the building in which he
conducted his store, began to expand.
---
Presently he had a big, modern bricl
building. Here it is interesting to re
late that Mr. Collison did not believe
in carrying fire insurance. He work
ed it this way:' Rather than pay in
surance premiums, he employed a
highly trained bookkeeper to run his
machine at night and watch his prop
erty at the same time. He kept his
eye open in day time while the book
keeper slept. Strangely, Mr. Colli
son has never suffered a fire.
The fact that this man turned a
mighty fine deal in cotton here does
not signify that he had taken advan
tage of a single farmer, for they all
swear by him down Bald Knob way,
but instead he found the market just
right for turning loose of this amount
of staple.
We have not said what Mr. Collison
is worth today. We do not know,
but believe he does, for it is a part
of his system to constantly know just
where he is in the world. Begin
LIFE INSURANCE
Among thinking people everywhere
is today recognized as a necessary
investment and an element of good
business. Think some about this.

ning with $800 arm plenty cf nerve
and honesty 20 years ago, he has ac
cumulated much more than $200,000
and a great host of friends, who ad
mire him greatly, not because he has
a lot of money, but because he is a
man clean through and has a habit of
lifting his fellowrnan over the rough
places when he has opportunity of
helping a deserving individual.
Mr. Collison and Mrs. Collison
spent last night in Newport, guests
of Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Best, who mov
ed here recently from Bald Knob, the
latter being assistant cashier of the
Arkansas Bank & Trust Company.
Mr. and Mrs. Collison are considering
the matter of making Newport their
home in the near future, and should
the decide to locate here Newport
will be most fortunate in securing
such a live business man as Mr. Colli
son.
WHAT POTATOES DO
FOR YOUR BODY.
I
—
They are good fuel. They furnish
starch which burns in your muscles
to let you work, much as the gasoline
burns in an automobile engine to
make the car go.
One medium-sized potato gives you
as much starch as two slices of bread.
When you have potatoes for a meal
you need less bread. Potatoes can
save wheat.
They give you salts like other
vegetables. You need the salts to
build and renew all the parts of our
body and to keep it in order.
An old king is said to have tested
each cook before hiring him by ask
ing him to boil a potato. Even the
best potato can be spoiled by a poor
cook.
