BEN. N. ANTHONY.
    Ben N. Anthony, distributor for the Buick motor cars at Texarkana, where he
has already developed a, large and growing business, was born in Bonham, Texas,
on the 30th of January, 1880. He was reared in the Lone Star state and pursued
his education in the public schools and in Carlton College. Early in his
business career he started out upon the road as a traveling salesman and was
thus engaged for seven years. He then turned his attention to the automohile
business and in 1904 came to Texarkana, Arkansas. He has had the agency for the
Buick cars here through the intervening period and has developed a gratifying
business, annually making many sales. In November, 1920, he established a branch
office at El Dorado. In addition to the conduct of his agency lie owns and
operates a farm of one hundred and twenty acres in the cotton belt and this,
too, is a gratifying source of revenue.

    In 1914 Mr. Anthony was united in marriage to Miss Linnie B. Webber, a
daughter of Colonel T. E. Webber. Mr. Anthony belongs to the Chamber of Commerce
and is in hearty sympathy with the plans and purposes of that organization to
upbuild the city, to extend its trade relations and uphold its high civic
standards. He is regarded as one of the progressive young business men of
Texarkana, his sterling worth being attested by all who know him. He belongs to
the Christian church and he has a circle of friends almost coextensive with the
circle of his acquaintance.
