Above is a photo taken in the 1950s on Broadway, the main street in Council Bluffs, Iowa. The city is across from the Missouri River and Omaha Nebraska. This was our family's first pawn and jewelry shop called Brown's Loans originally erected in 1912 by Nellie Brown. The shop was taken over by her two son's, George and Melvin, in the late '40s.
While Melvin ran the shop, he also mentored and taught his only son, Steve, the pawn and jewelry business ever since he could walk and up into his late 20s. Steve did not immediately take over the family business. He initially wanted to exercise his own entrepreneurial instincts with his personal business interests.
