his death illustrates forcibly the Importance
OF certain precautions in business matter
that men are often likely to overlook.
Nearly all business men, and particular,
men In the business of farming have plans in
hand at all times that others cannot take up
on the instant and mature successfully They
must have time to become familiar with
details, and have really money TO cover DELAYS
involved. as well as to continue operations.
Mr.. Brinkley could always command money
needed to tide him over emergencies: but for
his estate to DO SUCH thing is entirely a diff
fereut proposition,
Mr. Brinkley was always active In business
and seldom had large balance i'm bank. He
Kept his money at work. As a consequence,
when stricken down by death, business losses
would almost certainly have ensued had he
not forseeD such difficulties and as a prudent
business man prepared for them several years
