B.H. Stone & Co. Account Payment

Not long after acquiring Stone, Albright & Co. from his father, Benjamin H. Stone sent a payment to the Eagle & Phenix Manufacturing Co., a mill that dominated the economy of Columbus, Ga.

The bill, for unknown product, reads:

Fayetteville, Ark., Oct 12th 1886

The mills and dam of the Eagle & Phenix Manufacturing Co. on the Chattahoochee River are seen in a post card circa 1926. Today the Eagle & Phenix Mills have been converted into river-front condominiums. See more about the Eagle & Phenix Mills and Dam.

The first history of the University of Arkansas included more than a dozen photos of the campus as it appeared just after the turn of the century. Most of the buildings are no longer standing, and nearly all of those that do remain are used in new capacities.
