Brown Market, located at 17 Richmond Street, has succeeded in satisfying its hundreds of customers for a good many years due to its policy of giving the best service and immediate service. The reason the Joseph J. Brown Market is popular not only in the east end of the city, where it is located, but with housewives all over the city, is first and foremost because it combines giving the best in meats and meat products with a first class and thoroughly reliable delivery service. The fact that the Joseph J. Brown Market is out of the downtown section has proven to be an advantage rather than a handicap for the firm has developed as its policy one important fact, namely that it will pay the strictest kind of attention to its telephone orders and select for the housewife who orders her meat in this way, the best that the market has, and to see to it that it is delivered promptly. Consequently, many housewives all over the city have found out that they can save themselves much trouble in personal marketing, by simply ordering what they want on the telephone, knowing in advance that the meat they order will be chosen for them, just as they ould choose it, if they were there themselves and further that it will be delivered when they want it and that they can depend on that.

From her age, she may be the widow of Nicolaus Theodor Brown (1838) or Georg Joseph Brown [1829), brothers of George Adam Brown [1832), father of Joseph J. Brown [1869). The family story was that 3 brothers came over from Germany, Georg Joseph Brown, Johann Adam Brown (1830), and a 3rd brother. This might be Nicolaus Theodor Brown.
