Besse - Baker's MAIN STREET AT LEGION PARKWAY BROCKTON
In 1892 Mr. Lvman W. Besse, in partnership with Mr. Arthur H. Baker, one a Cape Cod and the other a Vermont Yankee, bought out the MacRoy and Cushing Menswear Clothing Store located in the City Block, changing the firm name to "Besse-Baker's", moving in 1908 to our present location at the corner of Main Street and Legion Parkway. Mr. Arthur H. Baker, a resident of, and ardent booster for Brockton, acquired sole ownership of the firm in 1928.
In observing our 64th Anniversary of unbroken own- ership this year, and looking forward to our Centenary Anniversary, Besse-Baker's pledges maintenance of the high standards of quality, service, and satisfaction that enabled them to become Brockton's Leading Men's and Boyswear store for more than three generations.

Eighty-one years of fine shoemaking is the proud record of Stacy-Adams Company. Founded in 1875 by William H. Stacy and Henry L. Adams, legend has it that Mr. Stacy, to maintain the standard of workmanship and quality of his shoes, refused to allow the old- time shoemakers to work by artificial light. Such tradition of quality workmanship has been maintained through the 81 years.
Expert hand-craftsmen are still relied up- on at this old New England shoemaking firm. Hand work has not been replaced by machine operations except in such parts of the manu- facture which would not impair the superior quality of the shoes. Stacy-Adams is one of the few concerns to keep faith with the old tradition of hand-made shoes.
The executives of the company, President B. Harrison Cort and Treasurer Arthur F. Luce, credit much of Stacy-Adams' success to the keen interest, loyal cooperation and personal pride their employees show for the company and the product of their hands. Thirty men and women have been with the company for more than 25 years, and em- ployees with records of 30, 40 and 50 years' service are not uncommon. The firm has always employed the finest of skilled crafts- men, training them in the traditional rigid
standards which have always characterized Stacy-Adams shoes.
Over the generations, this company whose shoes are known wherever famous brands are sold, has had an interesting history. Many distinguished men have worn Stacy-Adams shoes, including Presidents Theodore Roose- velt, Taft, Wilson, and Coolidge, as well as many present-day governmental officials and cabinet members.
One especially remarkable achievement for a firin steeped in the tradition of fine custom- grade shoemaking was the manufacture of approximately 1,000,000 pairs of navy shoes during World War II.
An old frame building on Montello Street was the first home of Stacy-Adams shoes. Continued growth of the company has made it necessary to enlarge quarters several times. In 1931, the present factory at the corner of Warren Avenue and Dover Street was pur- chased from Bion F. Reynolds, and last year this plant was enlarged with a 25 % addition to take care of the ever-increasing demand for Stacy-Adams shoes.
Today, Stacy-Adams shoes are known all over America and, in fact, throughout the world for superlative styling, expert leather selection, quality craftsmanship and luxuri- ous comfort.
