Over One Million Dollars Gain i'm Sales This Year,

to success, as the men at the head of this
new manufacturing concern were in ear
nest and knew no such word as fail: MIR.
Brown then being only % years OF age.
while each of his two partners were some
older, though in young middle life.
Their business during the first year
QS79 amounted to about $4,000. BY 1851.
their third year, the sales had shown
marked increase, amounting to S3oO.OOo. and
In April Of that year this copartnership
was succeeded by a stock company under
the name OF Bryan-Brown Shoe Company,
with a capital of $4,000. to the end that
worthy employees could obtain an interest
in the business of the first wholesale shoe
corporation in ST. Louis. and probably
west of the Mississippi River; which sue
ceeded. About this time the company
started to handle Eastern-made goods.
which. 1t was found, could he sold adj
vantageously by the same travelling men
who sold the goods Of their own manu-
facture, and they also moved their ware
rooms to new building at the southwest
corner Of Seventh and st. Charles streets
while their factory remained at the corner
Of Eighth and Walnut streets, and at this
time they were recognized by the trade as
the first successful shoe manufacturers in
ST. Louis. This stimulated another house
to venture out on the hoe-manufacturinS
sea in this city in 1888. and soon after
them another factory was started, and
thus continued the increased interest in
shoe manufacturing in St. Louis. which
has produced the phenomenal shoe history
