J. Franklin Brown. Among the progressive real-estate men of Cincinnati is numbered J. Franklin Brown, who holds a prominent rank in the business circles of this city. He has earned this enviable position by energetic application to his business, upright, honorable dealing, and by his public-spirited interest in the growth and prosperity of Cincinnati. He was born in the city on October 26, 1886, a son of J. Frank and Anna (White) Brown. He obtained his early education in the public schools of this city, and later attended the Westminister College at Wilmington, Pa., where he studied chemical engineering. After completing his education, Mr. Brown then returned to Cincinnati and became associated with the Cincinnati Milling Machine Company, and still later with the Bullock Electric Company. In 1913, Mr. Brown accepted a position with the Reald & Gould Real Estate Company, which he held until 1915, when he engaged in the real estate business for himself. He has been singularly successful and no man is better authority on realty values in Cincinnati than he. Besides being a business man of note, Mr. Brown has won a high reputation as a man, of integrity, wise in counsel, a safe leader, courageous in his operations and one who has carried through to eminent success important realty deals. Mr. Brown is a member of the Cincinnati Realty Board, the American Legion and Sigma Chi college fraternity. During the great World war, Mr. Brown served overseas for nearly a year. He enlisted on May 7, 1917, in the First Regimental Infantry, Ohio National Guard, as a private and was discharged October 15, 1919 from the Eighteenth Infantry, First division, with the rank of first lieutenant. Following his return from service he joined his brother, Audley H. Brown and formed the firm of Brown & Brown Real Estate Brokers, in the Union Trust Building. In politics, Mr. Brown is a stanch supporter of the Republican party, and though he takes a deep interest in the affairs of the state and nation, he has never sought or held office.
