BROWN SHOE FACTORY
ByPaul Fisher, Electrification Advisor
Pickwick Electric Co-op, SeImer
More than three quarters of a century ago iln
small two-story building on the riverfront of St.
there was born a business which represented the begin-
ning of Brown Shoe Company. it was a smal! c~m-
pany with only five skilled workers to start
The initial capacity was about 150 pairs of s;5oes per
day, and the annual sales voIume was about
$110,000.00.
In 1893 sales increased and the company grew
stronger. Expanding production forced the company ~o
expand several times. By 1907 five large factories
were built in St. Louis. From a modest beginning
figure of $110,000.00 in 1878, sales volume rose
rapidly and steadily to a totaI of more imam
$265,000,000.00 at the present time, and employ-
ment from 5 persons to approximately 15,000.
Brown Shoe has plants located in Canada, Arkansas.
Missouri, Mississippi, Illinois, Kentucky and Tennessee.
The Brown Shoe lines, consisting of men’s, women’s
and children’s shoes, are sold from coast to coast and
in many foreign countries. Since 1907 all new fac-
tories have been built outside the city of St. Louis of
which two of Brown’s 32 shoe making plants are in
Selmer - Factory "V" and Factory "F".
Factory ~’V", with 43,880 square feet of floor space,
began operations in 1947 and from then until October
1952 had manufactured 4,038,524 pairs of shoes,
using a total of 8,077,048 feet of leather. Production
for the year 1952 was 833,135 pmrs of shoes per
year as compared to approximately 1,000,000 pairs
today. Factory "V" has an annual, payroll
of $1,924,00.00.

01d Symbo ef ectrka Excellence
By Patsy Myers~ Home Economis~
M~dd|e Tennessee Electric Membership Corpora~on
Perhaps you%~e seen the statement "A Gold
MedalBon Home means better living for your
farrfily." Many of our nation’s leading magazines
have used ads and stories about the Gold Medallion
Home. Have you wondered what a Gold Medallion
Home is?
The Gold Medallion is the symbo! of electrical
excellence in homes. It is awarded only by power
distributors to home builders who meet rigid
standards for wiring, lighting and electrical equip-
ment. These standards, however, are adaptable to
any home-old or new, large or small. The objec~
of the program is to create a home that will be
both comiortable and convenient, since electrieheat-
ing and air conditioning, oombined with a
harmonious pattern of electric living centers, add
up to a more comfortable home and contribute
to easier housework° The Belchers’ home is heated and coo~ed by a Fed~ers r,e~t
