Archie Wierson began working at the shop at 107 Welch in 1936 and became partial owner in 1945 when he returned from his WW II overseas service.  He purchased full ownership in 1949 and worked for many years with the slogan, We doctor shoes, heel them and save their soles.  He specialized in while you wait shoe repair of all sorts.

Archie is pictured above replacing a heel using an automatic nailer that can complete the job in three minutes.  Other machines include the McKay stitcher for attaching a new sole.  If it pertains to shoes, we can repair it.  In addition to repairing shoes, the shop could modify shoes orthopedically, repair zippers, sharpen ice skates, refinish leather jackets, and clean and block men's hats.  Brides could even have Archie dye their attendants' shoes to a matching shade.
