HAS LEFT HIS IMPRESS UPON
THIS COMMUNITY.

mourn the passing OF one OF her fore
most citizens. George Everett Brett
was pre- eminently a leader I'm the
business and social life Of this city,
where for almost half century he
had been active in its upbuildins. He
came here when this was a compare
l. - small community and the city
still n it's infancy. He Immediately
became an important factor In its up
building. He not only assisted in
laying the strong foundation. but
gave much OF his time. ability and
money toward the erection OF the
handsome and substantial super
structure which is the pride Of all
our citizens and the inspiration for
praise from those who come among
us temporarily.
Mr.. Brett was always loyal to
Mankato and her interests. From the
moment he decided to become a part
OF this community he exhibited a
patriotic devotion that meant for its
betterment in every line Of endeavor.
He was not a drone in the business
hive, but rather an active participant
in the mercantile affairs which have
redounded 20 the credit of this city.
He was among those who always had
implicit faith in her development, and
that faith was backed by the heavy
Investments that he made here. not
alone in buildings, but in those insti:
tutions which have grown to be inn
pOrtant fixtures in the financial and
commercial life of Mankato and
large part of Southern and Central
Minnesota. .
Mr.. Brett was a citizen Of value.
His death has caused vacancy
which will be difficult to fill. Up to
the very last he was devoting his
time and energies to those PROPOSE
tions which in their fulfillment were
10 make Mankato a bigger and better
city, and extend its trade influences
into other and larger fields. He could
i'll be spared now for his life's work
was not finished. There was much for
him to do. and that he would have
performed the service we'll goes with
out the saying. He had always done
so. He responded to every call for
his time. his efforts and his finances
with a cheerfulness and hearty good
will that made II a pleasure for his
fellow men to serve with him in any
well directed undertaking.
Mr. Brett was prominent In the
social makeup OF this city, and he
possessed rare and enviable- qualities
that were freely and generously do
mated TO make successful those func-
tions which go far in the creation of
happier lives. He possessed a genial
disposition. pleasant and an affable
manner which made him many warm
friends. He was man of splendid i'm
pulses. was honest and upright and
the soul of honor. AS an employer
he was a model. Hundreds of young
ON and women who have been in
hi. --rploy can testify to his kindness
of heart and his thoughtfulness of
their welfare. In his home Mr. Brett
was all that an indulgent husband
and father could be. He was broad
of mind, tolerant of the opinions of
others, and his life was worthy of
emulation. He has left a favorable
impress upon Mankato. and a monu-
ment that will long endure. ra /.
