At present San Benito has two

LESSONS FROM LABOR DAY

Labor Day emphasizes the fact that
Bryan has shed its swaddling clothes.

hood II Is no longer a country vii
lage or cross-country wayside. True,
It's hard for some to realize that
Bryan will never again be a small dot
on the map, and once In great while
you will hear them voice their chronic
pessimism by predicting surplus OF
buildings within three months, or
some other impossible calamity. The
concrete evidence remains that Bryan
is a city that makes other cities OF
the country sit up and take notice.
The Labor Day celebration was
demonstration that large number of
mechanics are here, have become a
part in our civic life, making the
wheels OF industry turn the faster,
and are to be considered in our fu-
ture calculations. II means that man.
ufacturing industries must be grated
into our commercial life. We must
do the grating. and we must graft
when tie branch is ready at hand for
the operation. We can not go out and
pick up successful going industry
at will, but must watch for the oppor-
tunity and then seize 1t as 1t presents
Itself.
Just now we are working on the
carriage factory. The opportunity pre-
sented itself in the way of a fire. II
took two months to get our city con.
sidered. II took time then to work up
ia proposition. Now it's up to the men
OF Bryan to either support the Com
mercial Club and graft this splendid
industry into our commercial life. or
say that we are not going to continue
our efforts for Greater Bryan. We
are getting this factory cheap, con
sidering its Importance. There are
twenty-five men in Bryan who could
well AFFORD to put up the necessary
stock subscription to secure this fac.
tory, and they would more than make
double the amount in two years as a
result of this industry. The time on
this proposition has been extended TO
Saturday upon an earnest solicitation
OF the club. Bryan gets II, or her
neighbor gets 1t.
