Name/Title
Curtis Moon Shoe Repair Shop, Waverly, KansasDescription
Curtis Moon (1902–1976) stands behind the counter of his shoe repair shop in Waverly, Kansas, surrounded by shelves of boxed shoe polish, footwear, and repair supplies. A glass display case holds finished shoes and small accessories, while leather goods and horse tack hang along the walls, suggesting a shop that served both everyday footwear needs and work tied to horses and farm life. The narrow, deep layout and pressed-tin ceiling place the scene in the early 20th century. Under high-resolution viewing and physical magnification, boxed shoe polish consistent with Bixby’s “Jet Oil” brand can be identified on the shelving, indicating the use of nationally marketed shoe-care products.Made/Created
