The Brinkley argus., 1910-11-11

There are business men in Brikey who are appearant y disturbed because of the poor business in Brinkey They disgusted of them say But here's where the ARGUS man finds difference with them.
 SECRETS TOLD;
 I'm going to tell 'em just few secrets and ncidenty have the public know just why is that Brnkley is not coming into her just at this time live progressive City.
 Brinkey has good business men, they clever and knd they have good goods and do business the square taken whole but there's still something missing. They not wide awake they together for strong pull at city and trade building They letting all of the many little towns and villages, yea, country stores slip in and draw away the trade that rightly belongs to them.
 How is this done do you ask? Why it's easy and you will agree with that it s These reaching out for, and going after business There's scarcely day that passes that of these merchants and business not calling the advertising and the Folsom Prntery for live, result getting puhcty Just this week we have turned out big orders for advertising matter for three of these near by country stores-th spend sums for this service that would actually give of our business the shakes Those stores are patrons increasing their expendures in this line each year. while on the other hand Brnkey business concerns some ofe are cutting down each year It's no wonder then that the progressive winning
 Some of our business say that advertising don't they advertised once or twice and they couldn't that it paid them etc These ought to take few les from the most ierae farmer When HE plants cotton and the weather conditions against and the cotton doesn't come up he plants again and even two or three times over if he has real metal of MAN in him. The medicine the doctor gives sometimes fails to get results if conditions not ripe but don't sop taking the doc tors medicine do you?
 Often times the WHOLE TROUBLE is because the ad vertiser knows it a He limits his advertising to short period of time and few patry dollars and the newspaper knows ths and really doesn't much to get that kind of business especially since there so many live wire business Brinkley who Tn the advertising game win and winning and taking the money right away from those who asleep afraid and do not dare
 There time in the history of our country where people of every class susceptible to the in huence of progressive publicity brans and printers ink it is right now and if Brinkley business WANTED to voting contest pulled off by the ARGUS in the months in the face of pronounced opposition when they said we couldn't do it.
 Our citys growth and progress depends largely upon these same business men and if Brnkley isn't coming to the front we are getting the trade ought if other little towns stores and cities getting the trade that really ought be coming here it's because they going after 1t, and Brnkley merchants are not.
 We have the business men, they have the stores Brink icy has railroad facilities which in reality gives to Brnkey the advantage of trading population equal to that of city of 0 900 population but not connected up and many of really trying to cultivate the penurous dead sleepy habits which are killing the town.
 I've been in nearly every live Arkansas town and know whereof speak when say that there not town in the state admirably blessed with advantages Brnkey We ve got 'em all beat death if we'd all touch up
 For the benefit of the public would say that, you may know when this happens by this sgn Their boost spirit shown in the newspaper advertising columns
 When the Brinkley merchants get busy pull together and go after trade these country store keepers and the by city store keepers doing, Rrnkley will come into her own
