See A37889-3 for a view of the building after remodeling. The company had been founded by Herbert Brown. Brown's had been located at 9102 South Steilacoom Boulevard until 1937 when it was moved to 4734 South Tacoma Way. Herbert Brown's son, Wilfred (Bill) was now co-owner and manager of the shop. The company's panel truck delivery vans are parked beside the building. (T.Times, 12/16/1948, p.14)
