Brown And Cowie (Frank Cowie), Mechanical Engineer, Clyde Street, Winton. This business was established in 1900. The premises—which stand on an acre of freehold—comprise a large wood and iron building, measuring 60 feet by 30 feet, with a lean-to running the entire length of the building. The plant consists of two lathes, two vertical borers, a three and a-half horse-power engine and boiler combined, and a forge. The proprietor makes a specialty of repairing traction engines, and threshing and flaxmill plants, and his business extends as far as Nightcaps, Hedgehope and Lumsden.
