BROWN BROS. & co.
 REAL ESTATE DEALERS
A Firm That Has Contributed a Great Deal to Brmnehams
 Development.

In the Birmingham real estate field the
 well known firm of Brown Bros. & Co.
 has, within the four years of existence,
 taken and held the highest rank.
 In the scope and magnitude of it's op-
 erations it is admittedly second to no es-
 tablishment of it's kind in the southern
 country.
 Founded March 1, 1901,, this firm, com
 posed as it was then of Wilson R. Brown
 and Eugene l.. Brown won prompt and
 wide recognition, the skill, foresight and
 integrity of it's members enlisting the
 abiding confidence of the business com-
 munity.
 In May, 1904, the two Brown brothers
 associated with themselves Frank B.
 Fowlkes, a comparatively young man,
 who is recognized wherever he is known
 as a gentleman in manner and in char
 acter, and a business man of sound sense
 and remarkable resoureefulness.
 From the moment it was established
 the firm of Brown Bros & Go. achieved
 constantly increasing success. Under it's
 intelligent direction a great many of the , most important real estate negotiations in Birmingham have been transacted, and the physical attractiveness of the city has
 been thereby greatly enhanced.
 It was to the firm of Brown Bros. x
 Co. that w. H. Woodward turned when
 he contemplated the erection of the hand
 some building at Twentieth street and
 First avenue that bears his name, and it
 was the same firm that directed the real estate negotiations in the construction of
 the First National bank building at Twen-
 tieth street and Second avenue. In addi- ton to these two large operations, 1t has been given to Brown Bros. &s Go. to con duct the important real estate negotia- tions in the purchase of the property at Twentieth street and Fourth avenue. upon which, it is expected, will soon rise the handsome new twelve-story Jefferson ho- tel and in the purchase also of the prop erty at Twentieth street and First avenue upon which will be erected Brminghams first ffteen-story skyscraper office build ing.
 When the various railways entering Bir-
 mngham resolved to construct here a handsome new union passenger station, the firm of Brown Bros, & Co.,, was chosen to represent them in the purchase of real
 estate on Fifth avenue requisite to exe- cute their great and far-reaching plans. In a word, many of the most important real estate transactions recorded in the
 recent development of the city have been conducted, and conducted most success fully by Brown, Bros. X Co.
 Though dealing in all kinds of real es- tate, suburban as well urban, this firm had concentrated its attention especially upon town property-both in the residen- tial and the business sections of the city. It's operations in this field have not
 been exceeded by those of any other com pettor, and have given to the firm Of Brown Bros. x Co.,, a reputation that IS at once distinctive and distinguished. In it's personnel, the firm of Brown
 Bros. & Co.,, as exceedingly versatile. VII son R. Brown, the senior member of the firm, came to Birmingham with a wide and intimate acquaintanceship through
 out the state. Eugene l.. Brown, who had preceded him here, was before he entered the real estate field, well and widely known among Birmingham staunch business men, as was also Frank B. Fowlkes. All three are important and appreciated factors in the social life Of the city. Able, adrioit tactful and de- servedly popular, the success won by these three men cooperating with one another illustrates emphaticaly what great re wards may be secured in the Birmingham field by persons who possess intelligence courage and character.
