WHY NOT A COTTON MILL?
Bryan is GrOwlng-IIas Plenty
of Capital, and the Time
Is Ripe.

The Eagle desires to call special
attention to an article from the Re-
view Of Reviews, published else
where in this issue and setting
forth in facts and figures showing
what other southern states are do
ing towards establishing numerous
cotton mills within their bounds.
The matter has long since passed
the experimental stage and is
proving a most profitable invest
ment. Texas alone appears to be
tagging behind in this matter, but
some Of The Texas towns appear to
be awakening to the importance Of
the subject and the opportunity
offered for the investment Of capi-
tai. the employment Of labor and
the utilization Of the cotton plant
in is native fields.
No other town in Texas offers
better advantages for establishing
a cotton mill than Bryan. We
have here the cotton and the labor
and there are those who have the
capital.
Bryan Is growing in population;
the next census is going to sur.
prise the Oldest inhabitant.
Bryan is growing in residences;
Carpenters and painters have all
they can do, with orders ahead.
Bryan Is thriving commercially,
and has the largest trade territory
Of any town in the state Of any
thing like equal size.
Bryan il already a school town
with growing educational interests.
We have secured the Allen Acad.
emy, and prospects are very good
for securing the state industrial
school for girls.
The time is ripe for improve.
ments and a cotton factory is an
enterprise that will be Of inestima.
bic value as a town builder. Then
why not haveit?
While discussing the matter
with parties on the street yester.
day, the Eagle reporter was told
that one gentleman in business
here had voluntarily stated that he
would take $1,000 stock in such
an enterprise. There is plenty Of
capital here for the work and the
Eagle hopes those who have it can
see their way clear to establishing
a cotton mill in Bryan at no dis
tant date.
