Brown attained wealth through a poultry exchange he established between Western states and New York after the failure of the Clarion effort in 1916. In 1933, Brown attempted to reestablish a new Jewish cooperative effort in rural Monmouth County, N.J. employing seasonally employed Jewish textile workers largely from New York City.
