Jane Brown
Registered Pharmacy Technician & Bookkeeper

Jane Brown knew of The Pickwick before she ever thought of working there. Her cousin Annabelle worked for The Pickwick and Jane worked at the bakery, just a few doors away. When a job opening arose at The Pickwick in 1961, Jane applied and was offered a position. Jane worked the checkout counter upfront and helped Mr. Edgar Odom with the books and general office work. She also gave a helping hand at the soda fountain when it was busy or during hectic lunch hours. During this time, typical transactions at The Pickwick included money orders, and customers cold also purchase hunting licenses and pay their phone bills.
