for Mil for Bryan.

pressed after seeing them. OF the ne.
cessity OF mill for Bryan and OF the
advantages II would be to the city and
county. He studied the matter closely
and is firmly OF the opinion that a
mill here would pay a good dividend
on the investment They pay there.
and he sees no reason why they would
not pay here II rightly managed. Mr..
Soisa cannot see the sound business
sense in paying freight on cotton
raised in Brazos County to North
Carolina, New England or Europe. and
then pay freight back to Bryan on the
manufactured product. He regards
that as a clear loss to the cotton
grower.
Among the things he enumerates a
mill would do for this community are:
A market right at home for our cot.
ton.
The employment OF large amount
OF labor.
Making It possible TO have no idle
period during the year for a large
number OF laborers In the city.
A largely augmented payroll.
All OF which would contribute 10
the business prosperity and material
welfare OF the city.
