Brown of Stamford, owner and operator of the Dr. Pepper bottling works of Stamford. Mr. Lynn orginally had the Dr. Pepper franchise for all of Jones county, but sold Mr. Brown all of the county except a 10 mile square surrounding Anson. Fifteen years is quite a spell to serve the public. It was on April 5th, 1925, that he mixed and bottled the first Dr. Peppers in Anson trade territory.
