Original circa-1900 “Arkansas Fills the Bill” promotional booklet issued by the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern Railway Company.
This early railroad advertising/immigration publication was produced to promote Arkansas as a destination for farmers, settlers, investors and businesses. Inside are period advertisements and information promoting Arkansas farmland, agriculture, mining, manufacturing and railroad transportation.
Particularly attractive illustrated cover featuring an eagle, Arkansas railroad map and bold red, black and silver/gray graphics.
Original period publication — not a modern reproduction.
A scarce piece of Arkansas and American railroad history with appeal to collectors of railroadiana, Western/Southern Americana, transportation advertising and early land-development ephemera.
Very nice overall condition considering its age, with expected light toning and minor edge/handling wear. Please examine photographs carefully for exact condition and contents.
