Natalie Smith Henry used her father, brother and brother-in-law as models for "Local Industries" (1940), which shows Springdale's farm economy: a poultry buyer with a chicken, children feeding hens, and a buyer haggling over strawberries, with farms and the Ozark hills behind. It now hangs in the Shiloh Museum of Ozark History.
