HOLBROOKR|SE
SUCCESS STORY.

A career that sounds like a
typical success story of "the-local-
boy-makes-good" variety will be
climaxed tomorrow with the open
ing for public inspection Of the
new home Of the Holbrook Dairy,
at Eldridge and Perry Avenues,
Brentwood, one-half mile beyond
the District line.
j. o. Holbrook is the boy who
made good. Starting in the dairy
business four years ago with a
small sum Of money, several EN-.
ployes, even fewer customers and
a couple of trucks, Mr.. Holbrook
is the proprietor of a 100000
business that employs IS people
and supplies milk and dairy prod
ucts to 10000 customers in Mont
gomery and Prince Georges coun-
ties. He is responsible for the
design Of the new plant, consid-
cred one of the most efficient of
its kinC: in the East.
Mr.. Holbrook is a native and
lifelong resident of suburban
Maryland. to whose development
he devotes a good deal Of his
spare time. The better facilities
not only enable Holbrook to sup
ply Grade "a" paSteurized milk at
II cents quart but make it pos
sible to absorb the surplus pro-
duction of milk, cream and dairy
products OF nearby farmers.
Mr.. Holbrook'S principal hobby
is music, and whenever he wants
relief from pressure of work and
responsibilities he wanders off to
play the organ in the handsome
auditorium on the second floor Of
the new structure.

FARM SUPPLIES
MANY PRODUCTS

Holbrook Farms is equipped to
supply the people of the Wash
ington suburban area with all
their dairy product needs. In addi-
ton to grade "a" pasteurized
milk, Holbrook products include
whipping cream, buttermilk, cot
tage cheese, chocolate milk, butter
and eggs.
Holbrook's whipping cream is
above the standard required as to
butterfat.
It's buttermilk is healthful, eco
nomical and invigorating. It is a
builder of good blood and helps
the digestion of both young and
old. A person who regularly drinks
buttermilk usually has a clean
complexion is full of pep.
Holbrook's cottage cheese is
made with fresh, fat-free milk.
Cottage cheese contains calcium

ing food. 1t combines grade IA"
milk, sugar, chocolate and is good
for children between meals and is
an energy pickup for adults. 1t

SOME FACTS CONCERNING
REV. FRANCIS HIGGINSON

Editor of the Democrat, Dear Sir:
The publication of letter WRITER
by Francis Higginson, July "a, 1879
in a recent issue of your paper, has
caused some questions to be asked
about him, and I shall endeavor &c
give your readers little informa-
tion about this man whose influence
has not ceased, though he has been
dead more than 800 years Three
hundred years ago an ancestor Of
my mother was born in Old Eng
land and died in New England.
MacCauley says, "People who take
no pride in the noble achievements
of remote ancestors will never
achieve any thing worthy to be re-
membered with pride by remote de-
scendants."
The Reverend Francis HigginsoE.
the pastor and. founder of the first
complete church organization ever
effected in North America, was born
in Leicestershire, England, i'll 1897:
He was the son of the Reverend
John Higginson who is said TO nave
been a hale and active minister at
the age Of 104 years. When, on re-
turning home, after preaching IN a
neighboring parish, like Pharaoh OF
old, he tried the ford, and the wa
ters returned and covered him. We
know nothing of the sermons preach
ed by him during his second cen
tury, as they were never published.
His son, Francis, the subject of this
sketch, was educated at Jesus col
lege, Cambridge. England, and, at
an early age, received his degree.
At the age of 26 he was honored by
a degree of A. M, from St. Johns
college, and elected rector of Clay
brook, parish of Leicester.
In those days there was little re-
1igious tolerance; he was suspected
of Puritanism and was deprived OF
his benefices and threatened with
arrest as non-ConfOrmist. AL
though he was offered many other
excellent livings, he refused them;
supporting his family by lecturing
and preparing young men for the
universities.
Salem, Massachusetts, is next to
Plymouth, the oldest town in New
England A settlement was started
there in 1926. In June, Of 1923, a
company was formed in London,
England, called the Massachusetts
Bay Company" They bought from
the Plymouth council all that part OF
New England which lies between the
Merrimac and Charles rivers, in the
bottom of Massachusetts bay. Cap
tain John Endicott was chosen as
governor and was sent out with q
few emigrants. Naumkeag, after
wards renamed Salem, at that time
consisted Of eight or ten miserable
novels; few corn fields and a larg-
er tenement for the governor. The
colonists wrote to the London COM
pany asking that many necessary
things be sent them by the next
ship; the first item on the list was
ministers. The company voted them
a minister on each of the ships that
were then preparing to sail. But
whom could they send? What able
and reverend men would go as mis-
sionaries to this unknown country?
