200 years of a cobbler: Edwin

Back then they did not have many options. They had some ugly shoes. The same things are that they still sell shoes, some styles are the same. They also had to walk to the closest shoe maker. For some people the closest shoe maker was about 3 hours away.  It was also hard to afford shoes for your family back then. The reason it was hard to afford was because if you worked for the whole day you would earn about 1 dollar.

In 1815 when the company started the only way we could tell the world about our shoe company is by paper. But the good thing was that I was the only cobbler in Lebon Shanes dr. Which meant more money for me. Also some families have about 4 members.

 

Now, In 2015 we have more technology. We also use the internet to tell the world about my company. We now sell shirts, pants, shorts, sports gear. Now we also have more options like colors, type, size, and if you want to customize. In 2015 we also make the shoes faster and you can order them and they will come to your house quick.

 

I believe that the past years there is a major change in my company. They have more tools and internet. I also believe that in the future shoes will be made faster. Now they’re selling more than shoes. Back then it took about 3 hrs took make one pair.
