Arkansas Railroad Commercial Art produced by St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern Rail way

Railroad promotional brochures drew attention to the State of Arkansas through its recently developed rail line system, which railroad companies sought profit from. A majority of those living in Arkansas were isolated without a proper mode of transportation, as the phrase “Fills The Bill” is a stamp that defined 20th century Arkansas. A modern State that fit all the personal needs the modern person would need in a state, a change seen in Arkansas at the turn of 20th century. Interconnection through railroads and its potential to link its railroads with other states' railroads enticed many migrants to the area.
