When
John died Tom (the eldest brother) took control of the
company. For several years it ran with just the three
brothers. Leonard had already left and was running the
perambulator factory.
When Fred died Tom made his son, my grandfather, Clifford
a director and Horace did likewise with his eldest son,
Jack.
Tom eventually died and Horace became the senior of
the company. At that time he also brought in his other
son Jim as a director.
Clifford eventually decided that the time was right
to leave the company and in 1947 sold his share.
Horace was then left to run Brown's with his two sons
and his wife. They ran the
company until 1962,when sadly, they made the decision
to sell the business. |
