I am looking for information on WIDE AWAKE SHOE REPAIR , A shoe shop located in or near
downtown Evansville IN , possibly around late 1890's to early 1920's.
Frederick W Harnishfeger owned and operated a shoe repair business first located at 120
Locust and later at 301 Upper 1st St named Harnishfeger Shoe and Boot Repair.
I have a photo I believe to have FREDERC W or his son FREDERIC H HARNISHFEGER working at
WIDE AWAKE
The street number above the door indicates 812 but no street name.
I know that Fred W and Fred H both managed other buisness before and after opening thier
shoe buisness,
There are 3 men in this old photo,I can possibly indentify the one man as a Harnishfeger.
If you need a copy and or can help email tamarak(a)evansville.net
