E. A. Jolly Began Shoe Repair Work In Port
Lavaca
E. A. Jolly, owner and operator of the shoe repair business that bears
his name started in the business many years ago in Port Lavaca, Texas.
In April 1927 Mr. Jolly came to Coleman opening one of the most modern,
up-to-date shoe repair shops in this section of the country. He originally
located in the Pool building (106 South
Concho Street) where he remained for about three years, then moving
to the location he now occupies at 211 Concho street, just behind the A
& P Grocery (121
West Pecan Street).
Mr. Jolly has always maintained the same quality materials and workmanship
at the same fair price to the customer, regardless of the fluctuation in
prices of materials. He features Siberling rubber heels for ladies
shoes and High-flex for men. His wide experience and knowledge of
the business along with his superior workmanship places Mr. Jolly out front
in the repair business. A waiting room is provided for the patrons
in order that they may relax and be comfortable while having work done.
Sometimes a rush or special work requires a wait of a few minutes but everything
is done for the comfort of the customer during that time.
Mrs. Jolly is associated with Mr. Jolly in the business and is thoroughly
capable of doing first class repairing, dyeing and tinting, a line of work
that appeals especially to the ladies. They wish to take this opportunity
to thank their customers for their past patronage and invite you to come
to them with your shoe problems at any time with the assurance that the
customer must be satisfied at any cost.
