  Early in the 20th century, forward-looking Arkansas businessmen such as Clyde Eber Palmer contributed significantly to changes that improved the newspaper industry in the state.
  
  In 1909 C. E. Palmer, a Nebraska businessman who moved to Texarkana, became editor and publisher of the Texarkana Courier. The next year he changed the newspaper's name to Four States Press. This paper was just the first acquisition in what would eventually become a newspaper chain in Arkansas.
  
  Palmer's newspaper acquisitions grew, and by 1929, he completed his chain with the purchase of two competing newspapers operating in Hot Springs, The Sentinel Record and The New Era, which he operated from one office. The Sentinel Record became a morning paper while The New Era was delivered in the afternoon.
  
  Palmer possessed a total of six newspapers after his purchase of the Hot Springs newspapers. The other newspaper offices were located in Camden, El Dorado, Magnolia, Hope, and Texarkana.
  
  Palmer used the most modern press equipment and the latest technology in his newspaper chain. In 1930, he introduced high speed telegraph service to his newspapers so that readers could have news from around the country.
  
  World War II seriously limited the availability of skilled workers for newspaper jobs. Palmer designed the "Palmer Circuit," a way for all six Palmer chain newspapers to share news without having to hire additional staff.
  ...
  Clyde Eber Palmer was active in the operation of the newspaper business in Arkansas until his death in 1957.
