Women's Footwear in America

I’ve been spending a lot of time at the library these days looking through The Boot and Shoe Recorder magazines from the 1950’s and 1960’s. I’m hoping to match the dates to events in my grandfather, Ben Benjamin’s shoe career.  Today I found a notice in the trade magazine from June 15th, 1952 mentioning his new position as the General Manager of I. Miller Shoes.

    He did work in the Shoe Industry as a designer, stylist and salesman. He also owned a children’s shoe store for a short time when we were kids.
