T.J. Raney & Sons, Inc. was started in 1931 by T.J. Raney, Sr. He was joined soon thereafter by two sons, Alton Raney and Pete Raney. Their first years of business were spent buying and selling improvement districts bonds that were used to build the levy system that still keeps the Mississippi River from flooding into east Arkansas, and refunding Arkansas school bonds that were in default. At that time, two more sons, Clay Raney and Bob Raney, joined the firm. Later, five grandsons and one great grandson worked at T.J. Raney & Sons, Inc. From 1945 until the late 1960's, T.J. Raney & Sons, Inc. operated as an Arkansas investment specialty house, buying Arkansas bonds, primarily school bonds, and selling them to Arkansas investors.
