The Courier-Journal noted: "Glauber's Shoe Store might be the oldest in the state, maybe even in the nation. It opened in 1863, with five cobblers making the shoes. When the Industrial Age rolled around, the store turned to factory-made shoes. . . .The family business is the oldest continuous customer of the International Shoe Company." |

“The roller skating rink was opened to the public last Saturday night, about two dozen pairs of skates having arrived that day. The rink has had liberal patronage since the opening and bids fair to be a great success. It will be kept open every night until ten o’clock and will also be open during the day to those who desire to practice. Wednesday was “ladies day” and the way the ladies pounded that floor was a caution. The price of admission to the rink is ten cents and twenty-five cents for admission and the use of skates.” Carrollton Democrat, January 17, 1885. |
