Show INDEPENDEffl " Sugar House. Cu!i Thursday, AprU 24, 1958 -' ' f3 3 Business Profile. by Gwen "Barney When Newel K. Brown passed through here on vaca-tion during Sugar . Days in V ; . I ' 1 ' v.: :' : V " a I Ncvl Brown, a quiet mannered man, concentrates on giving satisfaction to his customers. He feels that .it is important to give extra time to proper fitting. There is no production line selling here. His help has the ted salesmanship exper-ience of 87 years. And to maintain good will he allows generous adjustments to customers in case of any dis-satisfaction. However, name brand merchandise assures buyers of a certain standard of quality. It is this assurance and thp personalized service of his salesmen which bring his customers back again and again. Newel and his wife, the former Marjorie Tame live at 1357 Downington with their children Dennis, Carolyn, Terry and Bruce. A member of the Sugar House Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Brown headed the Turkey Days promotion for the area in 1955. He served on . the "Board of Directors for the chamber during 1956 and '57. He filled a mission to Eastern Canada from 1937 to '39 for the Church of Jesus Christ of Laiter-da-y Saints. As he looks back over his boyhood Newel Brown admits that he was bound to get into business one way or another. He always worked on his father's ranch, in Burley, Idaho. But he had some youth-ful business venture going all the time too. Besides work-ing a paper route he sold aluminum ware and operated a fruit stand during school vacation. , His father gave Newel and his brothers an acre of the ranch to farm themselves. On it they grow potatoes or sugar beets, or raise livestock. Pro- ' fits from their enterprise would go into the boys' . own private checking "account. Newel credits his father with a philosophy which has spurred him on as well as sus-tained him in difficult times. "Do all you possibly can in the daytime, "his father used to say, "but let the Lord take care 'of. things at night while you sleep. Newel K. Brown 1949 an idea that had been formulating in his mind for a long time suddenly crysta-lize- d. He decided to move from Tacoma, Washington and to. establish himself in the shoe business in Sugar House. Previously Mr. Brown had worked with a shoe chain company in the Northwest. But he had always had the desire to have his own place. He was so impressed with the dynamic trade promotion exercised by Sugar House business men that he decided now was the time, and this was the place. . A- - year went by before he could obtain a location. In 1950 Mr. Brown opened his first shoe store in what used to be Snelgrove's ice cream store. He offered shoes for the whole family in the pop-ular price field. A slogan of his is "Quality merchandise at popular prices." Since then the operation, has enjoyed steady grawth. There is now a Brown's Shoe Store in Midvale, and one in Kearns. In 1955 the Sugar House store moved next door where remodeling made pos-sible a full basement to feature men's shoes.
