ARTHUR H. MORROW.
    A definite purpose and a spirit of enterprise and determination have carried
Arthur H. Morrow steadily forward to the point of success in the conduct of one
of the leading commercial enterprises of Fort Smith. He is proprietor of a large
book and stationery store, and the business methods which he has employed have
ever been such as to commend him to the patronage and to the confidence of the
public.

    Mr. Morrow was born in Dardanelle, Arkansas, in 1876, but was reared at Fort
Smith, where he has since made his home. After his textbooks were put aside he
entered upon an apprenticeship in a business concern similar to the one of which
he is now the owner. He there thoroughly acquainted himself with every phase of
the trade and eventually he determined to embark in business on his own account.
When his industry and economy had brought to him sufficient capital to enable
him to take this step, he opened a small store on Garrison avenue on the 1st of
January, 1908. His stock was quite limited at that time, but he put forth every
effort to please his patrons, recognizing that satisfied customers are the best
advertisement. Gradually, therefore, his trade developed and he increased his
stock to meet the demand. His business has thus been enlarged from time to time
until he now has the most extensive enterprise of this character in Fort Smith.
In addition to carrying an attractive stock of hooks he handles a general line
of stationery and office supplies, paints and wall paper. His sound judgment and
even-paced energy have carried him forward to the goal of success. He has never
hesitated to take a forward step when the way was open, and though content with
what he has attained as he has gone along, he has always heen ready to make an
advance. Fortunate in possessing ability and character that inspire confidence
in others, the simple weight of his character and ability has carried him into
important commercial relations.

    Mr. Morrow was married in 1902 to Miss E. Oakley Payne of Fort Smith, and
they are now parents of a daughter and a son: Martha J., seventeen years of age;
and Arthur P., a youth of fifteen.

    Fraternally Mr. Morrow is connected with the Knights of Pythias and with the
Woodmen of the World. He also belongs to the Business Men's Club, the Credit
Men's Association and the Noon Civics Club and is deeply interested in all those
projects and plans which have to do with the city's development, progress and
improvement. His cooperation can at all times be counted upon to further any
interest for the public good or which relates to the welfare of community,
commonwealth and country.
