A MINUTE
WITH Ml
UOwdy Neighbours!

in a community new to him, so
having done this by way of a
very brief introduction for my
self. and this column which will
appear in The Reporter rcgu-
larly. look forward to meeting
you personally.
After spending the better part
of Monday in making the rounds
of business places with Mr.
Buscy and shaking hands. I'm
convinced that the business
population of Browning is far
greater than that of any city of
comparable size in the Treasure
State.
II is most difficult to meet so
many. shake SO many hands. and
to remember SO many names and
faces. that for a while at least
I'll just be saying Hi" and
hoping that you will remember
me and say Iii Mi.
II may be confusing for you
too because Mi" is me. or
the other way round if it plcascs
you better
It's only natural that folks
should like to know a little about
Il new businessman in their com.
munity. so as far as business is
concerned. | come here with q
years experience tucked under
my belt. % of which were &C.
CURED in Wisconsin in partner.
ship with my father and where
received my first TRANSMISSION
of printers ink. The other four
years were spent in Harvey.

Harvey Herald.
Now when use the expires.

cOnvCXity that was once a

all have to show for those long
years Of experience.
Only a short time after selling
our paper in Wisconsin We were
convinced that when the right
opportunity presented itself We
would again set up shop for our.
selves and this We have
done. bu, only after long months
Of corresponding with other
newspapers offered for sale and
several long inspection trips that
carried us into several states.

or. and since our first inquiry
have observed with genuine in.
tcrrSt the progress and potential
of this community. Needless to
say We believe Browning has a
bright and progressive future or
We certainly would not have
made our Investment here.
We are here. and We are here
to stay. We believe that Brown.
ing has grown to a point where
il must expand and modcrnize.
and We want to be around to
grow with the community and do
what We can do to help better
It's general welfare.
We hope you will bear with
us this week and accept our
first publication as an abbrc.
waited edition. We hope to do
better as We 20 along!
We can offer several excuses,
although We are aware that no
battle was ever won on excuses,
but this has been n week of con.

gu, and our moving in. the 9Th
Of July. the continuous rain. and
Just not knowing where We were

one down. particularly Tom.
who has been buzzing around
so fast that he has had To depend

too much rain worse than too

When We drove out here two
weeks ago from North Dakota.

the way. starting at Stanley,

hours for the water to drain
out Of an umdrrpasS.
II hadn't raincd too much here,
but our trip into the mountains
was q rather damp one. and M
|, has been with our two trips
up there since We arrived last
Friday.
In talking with a couple Of fell
