I don't think we even have a shoe repair shop in town.<br /><br />My Grandfather ran a shoe repair in Chambersburg at 539 Woodland Street. The rent in May of 1941 was $11 a month. He was tireless and worked three jobs. He would do a shift at Whitehead Rubber and then off walk to the shoe shop and somehow managed a shift at Kramer on Olden Avenue as a watchman. He still did the family's shoes until he was almost 100 years old.<br /><br />Ed MillerickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19041693.post-75715057874245127482012-03-06T10:22:39.777-05:002012-03-06T10:22:39.777-05:00HI TOM...YOU REALLY HIT THE JACK POT TODAY FOR MEM...HI TOM...YOU REALLY HIT THE JACK POT TODAY FOR MEMORIES OF MY DELIVERING MAIL DURING THE 50'S TO ALL THE SECTION YOU'RE DISPLAYING TODAY.
