THE MAYOR-ELECT ARTHUR BROWN

A SKETCH OF HIM IN THE DETROIT JOURNAL

He is a Self-Made Hustler, a Good Lawyer and a Man Without a Single Bad Habit

The Detroit Journal publishes a cut of Mayor-elect Arthur Brown under the caption, "Mayor-Elect of Ann Arbor, is a Fine Example of a Self Made Hustler. He is Known to Be One of the Hardest Fighters, Legally or Politically, in the County." Its sketch of him is as follows:

Arthur Brown, mayor-elect of Ann Arbor, is a fine example of a self-made hustler. He is known to be one of the hardest fighters, legally or politically, in the county.

Arthur Brown went to Ann Arbor from Saline, about as green as the ordinary country school teacher in the ways of politics, and accepted a position as deputy country clerk under Fred Howlett. But he had the stuff in him, and when Howlett's term expired, Brown succeeded in landing the Democratic nomination for county clerk and was elected. He studied law in spare moments, and when he had served two terms as clerk he was admitted to the bar. Now he enjoys one of the largest and best paying clienteles in the county. 

Mr. Brown is a shrewd investor in real estate, and although less than 40 years of age has accumulated an independent fortune by hard work in his profession and some good investments. 

He is a master of sarcasm, and whenever he is an attorney in a case there is always sure to be something doing to keep up interest for the audience. 

He is a good lawyer, good politician, good fellow and a man without a single bad habit. He is a great force in the community.
