It was founded in 1885, and for many years operated under the name of R. E. Jones & Company. The company manufactures and designs all tanks and equipment for the oil refining industry and Mr. Brown became associated with the business in 1894, became a partner in 1916, and sole owner on April 29, 1921, when he pur­chased the business from Mr. Jones and gave it the pres­ent name, Miles P. Brown Boiler Works. Mr. Brown is the president; Harry L. Leyda is manager and purchas­ing agent; J. W. Brown, general superintendent; C. F. Whitesell is field superintendent, and R. E.
