EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage postcard from ca. 1908-1910 showcases the Sherron Shoe Company, a prominent shoe store located in Memphis, Tennessee. The image captures the essence of early 20th-century commerce with a group of customers browsing through shelves filled with an array of footwear options. The Sherron Shoe Co. prided itself on customer satisfaction, as depicted by the caption: "We endeavor to please our patrons, and if you are satisfied with your purchase tell your friends, if not tell US". This dedication to quality service was a testament to their commitment towards building strong relationships with their clientele. In this bustling scene, we see both men and women engaging with salespersons while perched atop ladders or standing near the well-stocked shelves. The diversity among customers reflects the inclusive nature of this establishment that catered to all members of society. This postcard is not only a glimpse into the past but also serves as an important historical artifact representing Southern United States' retail culture during that era. Produced by Curt Teich Company using offset lithography techniques, it exemplifies the artistry involved in creating such planographic prints. Preserved at Lake County Museum for future generations to appreciate, this image evokes nostalgia and invites us to imagine ourselves stepping back in time when visiting one's local shoe store was an experience worth sharing with friends and family.
