THE ASHEBORO COURIER, ASHEBORO, N. a - Thursday, July 17, 1521 Pb Fftnr THE COURIER PUBLISHED JEVEBY THURSDAY Thursday, Jely 17, 1924 Entered as second class mail matter bi the posioffic fct Aikobero, N. C. There is general interest among the newspaper folks of the state in the appointment of John W. ram, puo- Usher of the Raleigh Times, as a mmrr of the Wake County Board of Education to succeed the late Dr. Withers. Mr. Park is not only a suc 1 he I cessful newspaper man, but he is especially interested in education. The Courier has from time to time emphasized the danger of the reck less driving of cars. The citizenship of the community will be shocked to hear of accidents which will occur un less greater care is exercised. There is too much speeding and especially by a crowd of young fellows who would not hurt anyone willingly. There is an old. saying an ounce oi to precaution is worth a pound of cure. Let young and old white and black be more careful and avert accidents. WALTER A. BROWER VISITS COUNTY Mr. Walter A. Brower of Atlanta, Ga., was in Asheboro and his old home town, FTanklinville, a few days the first of the week, stopping over on his way from New York home. While in New York Mr. Brower at tended the democratic convention for a day. Brower was a McAdoo man like most of the Georgia people. Mr. Brower is another of the sons of Randolph who have moved to other states and made good. He left Ran dolph county in 1891 going to Atlan ta and obtaining a job with the Frank E. Block Candy Company, the oldest candy making establishment in the South, as a porter. When Mr. Brow er severed his connection with this concern in 1910 to go into business for himself he had risen to the posi tion of superintendent of the Block plant. Upon leaving the employ of this company Mr. Brower organized the Brower Candy Company and has conducted this business in the capac ity of president and treasurer since that time: The Brower candy company has grown to such an extant that he now employs ten salesmen covering many of the states of the South. The com- pany makes piece goods and also can- dy mixtures, stick candy, fountain syrups, and ice cream cones. The manufacture of cones was begun by Mr. Brower in 1914 on a hand ma chine having a very limited capacity as a side line. His business on this one item has now grown to the ex tent that it is the main product of his plant He now turns out from 75,000 to 90,000 ice cream cones daily. The process of making his cones, which are the famous round cake cones, is patented and also the name is registered. During the war the United States Government comman deered his entire output. Mr. Brower's plant was the first in the south to make ice cream cones. Mr. Brower makes the "Buddy" kiss and the "Hobo Lunch", the latter being the largest seller of his candy line. Probably the greatest run ever made on any one piece of candy, Mr. Brower says, was on his "Sweetum" piece of candy. The name of this piece of candy was taken from the name that Mr. Asa G. Candler, Atlan ta millionaire, applied to his first wife from whom he was seeking a di vorce and in the court proceedings relative thereto this endearing term was frequently read from Mr. Cand ler's letters to his wife and became a by word on the streets of Atlanta. Mr. Brower is a son of the late Madison Brower who died in 1914. He Has several brothers and sisters, a Brother C. E. Brower being superin tendent of the A. B. & A. railroad with offices in Atlanta. A number of his relatives live in the Franklin ville section of this county. Ferd In gold, Formerly of Asheboro, Dies Suddenly In Albemarle While Talking To Friend.
