OF Bryan was printed. The paper was
run for two or three weeks as an
evening paper just long enough to
cause the management to see the
advantage of morning edition.
Through the trials, hard times, four
cent cotton, drouths, and floods. The
Morning Eagle, for these fourteen
years has never missed an issue.
AT the beginning a four-page paper
was printed, two pages at home and
two in one of our cities rs patent.
The Eagle at that time was published
with very little effort, paper was cheap.
making expense of daily issue com
paratively small. Today marks an
epoch in the history of The Morning
Eagle. of which the present editors
feel duly proud, They lay at your
door this morning ten-page paper
the largest in its history and also in
the history of Bryan, Under the in
creased amount of high-class labor and

subscribers al the price put on 1t four

To cope with the increasing and pro
gressive demands of business and the
equipment necessary to put before the
people of this modern little city and
community, the plant has steadily
grown from an ordinary country
printing office. comprising an invest

The success of this paper coming
through the fourteen years of its ex-

of subscribers.
In this, our largest issue, and in
fact, every issue, we solicit the at

the advertisements which appear on
these pages-no patent medicine ads
but good, clean, snappy and bust

In this day and time newspaper
advertising is the safest, surest and
most feasible medium to reach the
