THEODORE EDWARD BROWN
THEODORE EDWARD BROWN.--A live wire in the local motor world who is not only wide-awake in forwarding the particular business interests he so well represents, but is ever alert to lending a hand to advance the welfare of both motordom generally and the commercial interests of Sacramento, town and county, is Theodore Edward Brown, popularly spoken of as Ted, the efficient and enterprising assistant manager of Sacramento Branch of the Moreland Truck Company. He was born on a ranch near Perkins, about six miles east of Sacramento, on April 13, 1901, the son of James S. and Alice A. (Poole) Brown, a native son and native daughter, respectively, each a member of an old and honored pioneer family. They have been extensively engaged in the hop industry and are still living to enjoy the fruits of their honest labors.
Trained in the public schools, and at Heald's Business College, Mr. Brown was secured by the Moreland Truck Company, as its office manager, in 1917; and it is doubtful if a better man could be found. He belongs to Sacramento Parlor No. 3, N. S. G. W., in which he is first vice-president; Sacramento Lodge No. 6, B. P. O. Elks; and Court Fort Sutter, Foresters of America; and he is also a member who makes his presence felt in the Lions Club. Mr. Brown has been a good booster for the county in which he was born, all his life and he expects to live to see Sacramento the real metropolis of northern California.
