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.

I found this brochure from 1991 in one of my dad’s old cases.  Perfect for Spring.

Does anyone remember when 8th Street was the place to buy shoes?  IMG_8026

Still a few holdouts.
