What is the name of the Brown Shoe Company's mascots?
The company was created in St. Louis and was originally named Bryan, Brown & Company after its founders George Warren Brown and Alvin Bryan. The company began business in 1878 and incorporated in 1881 as Bryan-Brown Shoe Company.
In 1904, the company bought the rights to Buster Brown, a character developed by cartoonist Richard F. Outcault they would use for marketing and his pet dog Tige was added a few years later.

I haven't heard of the mascot, but I've heard of shoes referred to as a pair of Buster Browns.

lady draggon, Yes, at the very least, it needed a comma to join the final two independent clauses.
