Catalog Cover #11 High-Caliber
Conversation:
A little bit of
history here!
The painter, James B. Meek, is the gentleman in the red shirt
holding
the revolver. Our founder, Bob Brownell, is the man in the
blue shirt
holding a pipe and sitting at the table. Our current president,
Frank
Brownell is the young man gazing at the paper-wrapped
package from Brownells.
The other two men are friends of the family.

Catalog Cover #15 Calm,
Cowboy
Community: In old times
your work was as good as your name. If any of these shops
or businesses
provided poor service or inferior products, the whole town
knew by noon
that day. Today we still hold ourselves to that small-town,
old-fashioned,
way of doing things.

Catalog Cover #16 A Hard
Workin’ Scene: Here’s
another nostalgic look into the days of the late
1800’s and the
early 1900’s. It’s interesting that the
Tonsorial Shop is
named Pecos Pete’s. Our vice-president, Pete
Brownell, says it’s
mere coincidence, but we aren’t so sure!
