In 1908, Morris Brown, an immigrant from Russia, began his daily trip via horse-drawn cart from Bremen, Indiana, to South Bend, Indiana. Morris, and his family, would bring eggs and other farm produce from Bremen to South Bend to trade for other goods not available in his small farming town. One day, while on the road to South Bend, a man asked Morris if he cared to trade produce for peppermint oil. Morris wasn't aware of its value, but was always looking for an opportunity, so he decided to gamble. Morris, and his sons, took the peppermint oil into South Bend and soon realized they could earn more money trading peppermint than eggs and other farm produce, Morris, and his sons, knew this was a business he would develop, and he founded a company named M. Brown & Sons dedicated to selling the finest essential oils available. The Browns worked long hours and very hard so they could support their families and provide integrity and service to their customers.In 1974, Morris Brown's grandson, Irvin Brown, expanded the business by selling herbs, spices, and decorative botanicals. M. Brown & Sons and Lebermuth Company eventually merged into one firm. Four generations later, we have not forgotten what Morris created and the service he provided. In his footsteps we continue to provide you, our clients, the best quality products and service available!
