OF INTEREST TO INVESTORS.
In view of the fact that the Young Men's Business association
begins another year Friday, it is of interest to recapitulate and
si gg^st briefly just what Brenham Is.
Primarily, there are seven thousand people inside the city 11m-
Hs and about 45,000 in the county. They are famous for their
thrift and enterprise, their cordial, pleasing treatment of visitors,
and their absolute reliability.
The public school system is not surpassed by any city of sim-
ilar size In the entire state. The high school has a particularly
strong faculty, while the ward schools practice every modern and
improved method of public instruction. The institution as a whole
Is as thorough as conditions will permit and has so been declared by
ptominent visiting educators.
Blinn College is a denominational school of unquestioned
> orth. The faculty is composed of educators of experience and
are endowed with a sincere hope to perform every duty in the best
possible mannuer. The equipmnt is of a superior character and
the courses matriculate with all the lv%het institutions of learning.
This college has also recently established the Blinn Summer Normal.
The banks are safe, conservative ami decidedly strong There
a re three, all of whlc hare managed in a manner to merit the con fi -
ilencc accorded them by the dpositors and correspondents. Th*
two railroads open a territory that makes Brenham the oh h i job-
bing center between Temple, Austin, Galveston and Houston. The
retail and wholesale merchants carry stocks that, meet every demand.
The Retailers association is exceptionally robust and has a mem-
bership that is at once active and responsible. The churches are
of everv religious persuasion and employ able and conscientious
pastors throughout the year and who are keenly responsive to
every spiritual and moral duty.
To this list, may be added that Breibam is the eouiity-^at; has
two daily newspapers, both of which ale eager to co-operate with
the business element in all civic and commercial enterprise:-; it has
a commercial club that is energetic and accomplishing; a cotton
mill, foundries, electric plant, ice plant gas plant, creamery and
other industrial assets which make it attractive, substantial and
healthful.
Withal, it's the best little city on earth.
