hand assistant to his father, ia
master craftsman at making shoes
/ by hand, and in repairing them.
August was 25 when he came
to Port Clinton in 1907, joining
cousin, Mrs. John Michnay, who
lived here. He worked at the Fish.
hack Mills for short time and
for six years he worked with John
Wahlers whose shoe business was
on Madison street where Soren-
sens grocery now is located.
When he went into business for
himself in 1914, he added lines
of shoes for retail selling with
in very shord period. First the
shoe sales were sort of sideline
to the repairing. By the time he
moved to the Robinson Building,
around 1919, the business was half
repair and half new shoe sales.
And today shoe repair is side
line for the Kolesar main business
of shoe merchandising. Eddie
Kolesar, who joined his father in
the business 20 years ago, takes
care of the shoe repairing depart
ment, where modern machinery
presents a vivid contrast to the
hand tools of 40 years ago.
During World War II, he held
both government and state con-
tracts for shoe repairing for men
at Camp Perry and Erie Ordn-
ance Depot.
High top buttoned shoes were
the accepted thing when the Kole-
sar Shoe Store was young. August
remembers the days when bicycle
shoes that laced to the toe were
the big rage.
Miners boots were much in de-
mand. Canvas-topped high shoes,
high laced shoes they've all
passed Through August's .hands.
He keeps few pair of the old
timers yet in an upstairs room, as
relics.
Low cut shoes came on the pub
lie gradually, first as oxfords and
then ballooning out into the count
less styles of today's fashions,
says August. But people buy shoes
differently today than they used
to.
Once was, says August, that
people bought one pair of shoes
at time. They wore them until
the shoes wore out. Today, several
pairs are an accepted part of
every wardrobe.
Peoples feet are bigger, too.
He finds that Z is the average size
for women, and believes that in
creased participation in athletics
and more freedom is the reason.
Nine is the average size for man,
and that's about one size bigger.
too.
He believes that mothers of to-
day are more careful of their
children's feet, changing shoes
oftener as the foot size increases
slightly. There was time when
Junior was expected to wear his
shoes till they wore out, regard
less of his growing and yelping
feet.
White shoes for babies and
small children would have been
unheard of, years ago. But now
they are an accepted fact. And
low shoes for the smallest ones,
who not too far back were always
consigned to high shoes until they
were at least three or four, have
become increasingly prevalent
these last few years.
When did people buy the most
shoes? You'll never guess. During
shoe rationing time! Everybody
wanted to use up every ration
stamp he had.
Women's hosiery is another
item in which August's business
has seen style revolution. When
he first stocked hose, cotton and
