The Columns of Will Ball

Logansport Press, January 22, 1949

 Makers of Boot Jacks

 

In 1883, there were 18 men in Logansport who could make footwear of excellent quality and appearance; some of these had employees; that is, they ran more than a one man shop.  In the downtown section, there were Charles Horning, John Winsch, Elias Winter, Henry Wren, John Gotseling and William Engelbrecht, to mention only a few.  Each of these had a stock of various size, over which he shaped the shoes ordered by his customer.
