Weekly expositor. (Brockway Centre, Mich.) 1882-1894, 1890-12-26

Never before have matters seemed
TO augur more of great things To come.
The secret of it all is that Brown City
has some thoroughly live men within
it, who are bound that success shall
crown their efforts. And not only this
but 10y their sterling energy they are
bringing about what they wish Con-
spicuOus among these worthy men are
Drs. Watson and Lister, j. +. Holden,
Windsor Bros. Thos. Mclaughlin. III.
McNair, j. II. Nickerbocker. Frank
Snider, G.. IL. Loree. b. Gamble, Jno.
j. Mcknight, Geo. Etherington. VIM.
Mcleod. Thorough-going business
men, all of them. Now the fruit Of
their efforts is being to certain eX-
tent realized. Brown City has secured
two enterprises which will establish it
Us a peer, and with its natural advan-
tages even superior, among the vii
lagos of the country. NJ. II. Norman
Il Co. will open bank within a few
days: and j. n. MenZies, proprietor of
the \ ale EXPOSITOR. will start new
paper OH an entirely independent basis.
What "A difference it will make with
the pretty little town of Brewn City?
What was formerly but collection of
stores, with 10 distinctive individuality
as village. will now have the two
great attributes of metropolis. 1t
Will have a press to voice the popular
feeling and Il banking system which
will centraliZe the business OF the
village. Too much thanks cannot be
bestowed upon these EhilanthrOpic
gentlemen. who have shown so con-
spicuOuSly their generous earnestness
for the public veal The future pros
perity of the place is EOW insured.
Brown City IS the most tavorabiy sit

Of the great future which Is awaiting
the future development OF all of

Brown Clty's prosperity. She. to a
great extent lies beyond our horizon.
and will receive her support from an
other direction. Brown City and Yale
will ever live and grow as two sister
villages Yale has at present the lead
and will doubtless keep it; but that
wlll not mean anything to Brown City.
1t will continue to thrive in its own
sphere with Il distinct kfe of its owH.
THE BROWN CIgY BEE.
Within week the first periodical
ever printed in the village will make
its appearance. 1t viii be full SIX
cOiumn folio: of as large dimensions as
any country paper in the state. This
will include, on the inside pages. full
state and national news. with exhaus-
tive reports from the capital, kilograms
from all over the world, and also Il good
story in each issue. Then on the other
pages will be two or three columns of
local matter of local interest, bright
editorials on important affairs of daily
consideration, county and general notes
and full staff of correspondents from
neighbOring villages. The paper will
be a live factor and will endeavor to
serve the best interest of the village
alone. 1t will have no object or aim
but - serve the people whom it repre-
sents. In addition there will be set
up thoroughly equipped b-printing
office. which will add greatly to Brown
City's business facilities. In this line
1T seems that Brown City has an excel
lent outlook.
TIE BANK or NJ. II. NORMAN & co.
In another particular Brown City
has always been crippled She has
been without regular established
bank. Now the business acumen of
certain energetic men have seen Brown
City's fair promise and are anxious to
close with it, Mark H. Norman. Il
hustling Young banker. wha has spent
nearly all his life behind a banking
counter, ald has been connected with
our busy bSnker B. X. Noble for some
years, is the active member Gf the firm.
Under his able management 1he enter
prise is sure of a success The inan-
cial stability of the concern is vouched
for by B. r. Noble. who is a silent
member !. ". Norman. one of the
sterling men of Lexington, is another
voucher. Altogether Brown CITY can
thank its stars that it will secure the
services of q bank with such sub
stantal backing. This fact alone
speaks volumes for the faith that is
placed in her future. So large an
amount of capital placed within her
borders can not but produce excellent
results. In addition TO other benefits
Brown City should congratulate itself
in securing the services of banker
of such high standing and universal
favor. Mr.. Norman is a thorough
gentleman and during his stay i'm our
midst has made himself universal
favorite, Together with his great
