... form of military commission formerly used in the [United States(U. S.) ] and British armies. Under the system in which an officer was customarily promoted within his regiment or corps, a brevet conferred upon him a rank in the army at large higher than that held in his corps. Frequently it carried with it the pay, right to command, and uniform of the higher grade. In the United States especially, brevet rank was widely bestowed as a reward for outstanding service; it became the subject of extensive confusion and controversy during the American Civil War. After 1865, U. S. brevet rank was gradually stripped of its benefits, and officers were rewarded instead by decorations. 2, record 4, English, - brevet%20rank

A "broker" is someone who represents a manufacturer or marketer(his "client") to prospective customers, and receives a commission, usually monthly, in recompense. Brokers do not purchase product. They do not warehouse merchandise. They are not resellers. They are representatives. In fact, their role is not too far afield from the role that exists between a real estate "broker" and his client. A broker takes the place of a clients sales representative without incurring a fixed cost.... Brokers may or may not have an exclusive territory, but often do. Brokers may have exclusivity to an particular "class" of customers within a specified territory, such as military or government customers. Most brokers specialize in a particular area, such as frozen foods, groceries, dairy, even health foods, and nearly all successful brokers represent more than one or two manufacturers. 2, record 7, English, - foodstuff%20broker
