Not me, but a couple of my friends got their shoes from there. Maybe one of their dads worked for uniroyal, not sure I do know one of them went to work at uniroyal and put in about 40 years there. Only job he ever had. Possibly got the job because of his father.


Sadly, I just received word that my friend passed away this morning. Thought I should say something because I had just mentioned him talking about Uniroyal.

Nope. The shoe town in Baker was where I got my good shoes for school . Everything else came from the sears catalog.
