Fortunes were made in Fayetteville by logging the old growth oak and hickory forests of the Ozarks. Crosscut saws and double-bitted axes brought down the trees, and mules hauled them to the nearest railroad spur, which for Fayetteville meant the old St. Paul Branch. This sawmill and lumber yard are closer to Little Rock than Fayetteville, but they are illustrative of the many logging camps that fed the lumber industry during the late 19th and early 20th century. Postally unused, this card was printed in Germany for I. Goodman of Little Rock.
