In 1877 the firm Of Brown & Bro.
removed their establishment from
Mocksyille and located in Winston.
Winston was a small town then, but
it was possessed of that vim and grit
that is susceptible to rapid but substan-
tial growth. The Browns, when they
came, brought large measure Of that
kind of grit and energy with them
1t was not out of place in Winston,
and in a very short while the business
Of the town began expanding the busl-
ness of Brown Bros. expanded with 1t.
ponderous brick edifices began raising
themselves away up beyond the gable
ends of what had formerly been re-
garded as large and comm0dious build
ings. Departmentwas added TO depart
ment. and stories piled on stories until
acres, instead of feet, were covered
over with mammoth plants. Brown
Bros. kept in the front ranks OF the
march of progress until their main fac
tory building and their adjoining ana
adjacent leaf storage houses could be
seen from almost every corner of the
new and growing city.
in 1880 w. T Brown was made part
ner in the firm of Brown Bros.
In 1893 Mr. Rufus ID, Brown, a
member Of the firm, was called
from his labors here to d reward trans
cendently greater than any that the
world can give. He had been a busy
man, useful citizen, Chistian gem

After the death Of Mr.. Rufus ID.
Brown, company was organized and
duly incorporated under the name of

After making the purchase of the old
factory of Martin a Booze, at Mocks-
vile, work was continued in the same
building until 1870, when Brown d
Bro, built and equipped large new
factory in Mocksyille and fitted 1T up
with steam. This was probably the
first steam factory built in the State.
The first whistle of the engine in this
factory sounded a new key note Tor
the tobacco industry in North Carolina.
1t was a note that has been taken up
by a vast chorus, stretching almost
from the mountains to the sea, and
this mighty band of industrial chorist-
ers have filed the old State with vol
ume of lively music, the echo of which
has been heard all around the earth.
When Brown u Bro, removed their
factory from Mocksyille to Winston,
in 1877, they Immediately built new
and commodious brick building, and
equipped it from basement to roof,
with the newest and most perfect ma
ehinery, and entered upon career
that has been productive OF almost
phenomenal successes.
Since 1877. the factory built at that
time, has been enlarged on Jour differ
ent occasions. In 1880 1t was nearly
doubled. In 1884 another large addi-
ton was made. Six years later addi-
tional space and facilities becoming
again necessary, the plant was again
materially enlarged. Then again in
1898, just prior to the organization of
the old firm of Brown & Bro, into the
new corporation OF Brown Bros, Conn
pany, large additions were made to
the factory and storage facilities, and
the entire plant remodelled, reprinted
and in a measure rededicated to the
manufacture of tobacco. All these adj
ditions and engagements have been
necessitated by the ever increasing de-
mand for the popular brands of tobacco
made by this establishment. From the
little wooden building in Mocksville
where half dozen people worked
away, turning out every once in awhile
a box of plug or twist tobacco, this es-
Enlistment has grown into little

growth and success Of Brown Bros
Company isan everenduring monument
10 the high character and superior
quality OF North Carolina leaf tobacco,
as well as to energy, good Judgment
and square dealing OF the men who
have built the business. The trade OF
this establishment extends from one
end Of the country to the other. In the
alden time the little demonstrating
wagon backed up to the door Of the
little factory in Mocksville and loaded
up with a half dozen, or a dozen boxes
o. plug and twist provided itself with
a two or three weeks rations, and
started ont for Western North Caro-
lima, or Southeast South Carolina, and
perhaps after a months stay would
return for another load of tobacco.
The Southern Railroad, or the Norfolk
a Western Railroad, backs up a car to
or near the factory, loads IL up with to-
bacco, and before the old schooner
wagon would get twenty-five miles
away, the car load of tobacco some
10000 to 10000 pounds, is ready to UNI
load in some big, far away market.

the wise counsel of the official head
of the establishments, his judgment and
long experience pervades the entire
establishment, and it has due weight
with every member of the concern.
DR. w. L. Brown is a native North
Carolinian, and is one Of the sturdiest
and most prominent members of that
large family of Dayie county Browns,
whose achievements along industrial
and professional lines fiji pages Of the
States brightest history. He
might have confined himself entirely
to the practice of his profession. His
distinction might have been confined
to his profession and still been great,
but his active brain, his well developed
mind, and his robust physique would
rot be content with distinction in only
one ayocation. These forces in the
makeup of this man, were not TO be
circunscribed by professional limits,
that discerning mind could see ahead
and satisfy itself that there were great
possibilities in manufacturing in North
Carolina. so the foundation was laid.
Some years after the purchase By
DR.. Brown of the Martin q Booze fac
