Leather & Satin uppers with 10 bead buttons. Embroidered inside boot top with copper/gold thread Hanan & Son New York, as well as the trademark. Numbers are written inside S96807. James Hanan was a resident of Brooklyn, living in a large mansion at 45 Eighth Avenue (demolished) in Park Slope. James Hanan (1819-1897) was born in Ireland and learned the shoe trade from his father. In 1849 he moved to America and in 1854 established a small shoemaking business in New York City. In about 1865, his son, John Henry Hanan (1849-1920), entered his fathers firm, and in 1882 the company became Hanan & Son. The Hanan Company was among the first to stamp the firms name on every shoe, a daring idea at a time when most people still sought shoes handmade by the dealer. The firm was successful and in 1888 Hanan began opening retail stores to sell the factorys product directly to consumers. In 1894, the company had stores in New York, Brooklyn, Boston, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Milwaukee, New Haven, Buffalo, Chicago, and St. Paul. By 1914 the firm had thirteen retail stores in the United States and Europe (apparently in London and Paris). The company went bankrupt in 1935.
