The Well Known Helena Firms
Ads in the Argus Gets Them
Splendid Results and He
Tells of it as He Pays.

There's scarcely any pleas
ure so satisfying to me in the
newspaper game as that of
getting REAL RESULTS for
my advertisers, and somehow
or other there are quite a few
of my patrons who are thought
full, fair and kind enough to
tell. of the satisfactory re-
suits their ads in the Argus
keep me feeling bully good"
nearly every day in the week
bring them.
This week, among the rest, is
a nice letter from the well
known cotton firm T. W.
Kessee & Son of Helena. There
is not a better posted, fairer,
squarer cotton man in the
South than T. w. Kessee and
for years he has served the
people of this and other coun-
ties of Eastern Arkansas as
their selling agent for cotton.
His sunshiney letter in sending
in his check and ordering the
big half page ad in this weeks
Argus, is as follows
Helena, Arkansas, Oct. II, 1919
Mr.. VIM. B. Folsom,
Brinkley, Ark.
Dear Sir:
We are getting a very nice
business out of your territory
and after we have sold the cot
ton we are getting some awfully
nice letters from the shippers
expressing their pleasure and
surprise at the prices We are
getting for their cotton, all of
which is very pleasant to us.
With kind personal regards,
we beg to remain,
Yours very truly,
T. w. Kessce & Co.

Civic Moral and Church
Conditions in Brinkley
Members Set UP and
Take Notice.

Things were normal in
BrinkIey Sunday and when II
say normal" | mean few were
out at the various church SER
vices, at both morning and
evening.
OF course it was a rainy,
damp, chilly day, but the
churches all had good, warm
fires and comfortable pews
and some sweet inspiring music.
The streets, post office and
various stands and shops had
good crowds standing round
but there were few at the
churches.
From what / could learn
there were splendid sermons at
the three leading protestant
churches and at the Catholic
church by the splendid men who
serve as pastors.
1t was at the Methodist
church however on Sunday
night that Pastor L. E. Mann
turned loose" on the condi-
tions probably responsible for
the lack of interest in church
attendance in Brinkley.
Pastor Mann left Brinkley on
Monday morning for Phillips
county before / could get a
chance at his note book and
hence it is merely the echo of
his sermon that l heard on
Monday as / was making my
rounds.
One of our leading business
men who was out at the Metho-
dist church Sunday night and
heard Rev. Mann, said to me,
81 heard a real sermon last
night, and if l could hear that
kind of preaching all the time,
I'd never miss a service. The
nreacher hit me lust like he did
other Christians but that's
what we need in Brinkley and
it is the kind of preaching that
will bear fruit

street business Monday morn

weeks since telling of the ex-

Your article in the Brinkley

above caption just received by
me.
Fear not, the metropolis of
Monroe County has not been
overlooked. We are preparing
Ito make extensive improve
ments in Brinkley and l hope to
be able to start this work dur
ing the month of November.
We intend to make some i'm
provements in our local Office,
in addition to rebuilding a large
portion of the outside plant. at
a cost of approximately $4,000.

cry of the material. '''
The starting of this work
l certainly hope that there is
no delay caused In the starting
of this work and that within a
short time the improvements
that we have planned will have
been completed in Brinkley, at
which time you will have one
of the most modern telephone
plants in the state. We feel that
Brinkley is fast becoming one
of the principal small cities in
the state and that a very sub
stantial growth can be expected
during the next few years"
