Ted Brown Ad Man 30 Years,
Office Colleagues Do Honors
By STEPHEN A. STONE
Don't be fooled, folks, by the beam in the eye and the smile
on the lips of the guy in this picture. He doesn't look that way
all the time.
Nuh-uh.
If he did, Edward Albert (Ted) Brown wouldn't have been
advertising manager of the Capi-'
tal Journal for 30 years well
almost 30. He was assistant for
a year, then took over. In that
time he's developed facial twists
and glints of the eye suited to
all types of customers. He can
register more emotions than a
movie actress.
1
So today is Ted's 30th anniver
sary at the Capital Journal. Just
to make him feel at home, and
like he'd maybe got a start to
ward making a place for him
self in the organization, th
gang decided on a little celebra
. . . er, uh . . . observance of
the occasion.
Please pardon our confusion
This yarn is being written by
a newsman. The guys and gals
over in the front office can cele
brate if they want to. Here on
our side we observe the event
with reserve. We're tolerant.
But a newsman can't exactly
buddy around with a space-grab
ber like Ted Brown,
Anyway the whole Capital
Journal family has joined in a
gift intended to let Brownie
know that our esteem for him
is top degree, and that the con
gratulations he hears today are
out of our ink-stained souls.
May his own grow blacker, with
many more years on the job and
more double-trucks,
Research reveals that Ted was
born a Canadian, at London
Ontario. Early in life he decid
ed that was a good place to be
from, and he is next heard of
going to school in Portland
whether grade, high or night
school isn't clear. If he ever
went to college there's no record
of it. But he could have done
a lot of things there's no record
of. His enthusiasm about foot
ball and basketball and all other
sports arouses suspicion that he
may have four or five diplomas
tucked away someplace. But
what difference does it make?
Who would want a Ph.D. for an
advertising manager?
Ted started out to be a public
utility man by working for the
Portland General Electric com
pany as a draftsman for three
years, 1913 to 1916. But he
yielded to a lure toward news
papers and joined the advertis
ing staff of the Portland Tele
gram. He was there two years,
then came to Salem, and joined
the Capital Journal in 1920.
He was married in 1917 to
Maple Lorie Robinson of Port
land. They have two children,
Mrs. Eugene F. Wilkinson of
Salem, and Robert Edward of
Portland, who, like his dad, is
an advertising man.
In 1938 Ted was president of
the Advertising Managers of the
Oregon Newspaper Publishers
association, and in 1942 and
1943 was a member of the as
sociation's board of directors.
He is a charter member of the
Salem Ad club and served a
term as its president.
It was our intention to fill a
column with things Brownie
would like to read we hope.
But the boss came by. He said:
"We're tight today. Hold
tverything down."
And you know, Ted, who's to
blame for that.

bany, and is also survived by

the pupils and teachers have
moved into their new rooms.
There are five classrooms, one
supply room, and one teachers'
room. Now that the new wing
has opened the first graders will
not have to go in shifts, which
will make it much more con

Dog Runs Wild,
Bites Children
Philadelphia, Feb. 1 (U.B A
large dog ran wild in the vicin
ity of St. Anne's parochial
school Tuesday and bit 17 chil
dren returning to classes after
the noon lunch recess.
The dog threw the neighbors
into an uproar as he dashed
madly across streets and into
the schoolyard attacking children.
Thirteen youngsters were
treated at St. Mary's hospital,
where three six-year-old boys
were given anti-tetanus shots.
Four other children were treat
ed at Episcopal hospital.
Doctors said most of the chil
dren suffered minor scratches
and that their heavy winter
clothing protected them from
the dog's teeth.
The dog escaped after the
rampage, despite the efforts of
motorists to run it down. It
was described as a large, yellow
animal with black and white
spots.

So-called "MIRACLE DRUGS"
do wonders in healing and re
storing health, but they are not
drugs with which to tamper.
Outward symptoms are often
very deceiving, and taking the
same drug as your neighbor is
unsafe, and often dangerous.
Those who advise the use of
this, that or the other drug
without full and complete med
ical knowledge of your condi
tion are doing you no kindness.
Willett's
When there is anything the
matter with your health, do not
"self-prescribe" or ask anyone
but your Doctor what to do.
Experimenting with "hearsay"
remedies for yourself and family
may be very expensive in the
long run.
Seek medical advice only from
a Physician. Don't experiment
with drugs or health. The
Doctor spent years learning how
to diagnose and prescribe.
