#OTD - looking back to 21 January 1913. Today, in history, the attached advertisement of JN Brown, Family Butcher, was put in the local paper.

John N Brown had a shop here that he ran as a butchery from 1910, it remained in the family with brothers Douglas and Allan taking over as Brown Bros' #Butchery. Eventually Douglas’ son Allan took over for himself after WW2, he sold the business in 1959.

Its now owned by #Ōtautau Joinery and today operates as an outlet for Carleton's #Winton Pharmacy.
