Siloam Springs post office mural

Siloam Springs, Benton County

Bertrand Adams got more criticism from Washington than any other artist painting for Arkansas, and nearly quit. His 1940 mural "Lumbering in Arkansas" shows four ways the state made a living: a sawmill in the center, a zinc mine, farmers hauling hay, and a cotton gin. It still hangs in the Siloam Springs post office.
