c. 1920s; Shoe Corporation of America - Columbus, OH
Tin lithographed advertising sign for Wm. Penn Good Shoes for Men, produced for the Shoe Corporation of America and printed by Burdick Enamel Sign Co. of Chicago. The design showcases a detailed horse illustration over a bold black and red palette, highlighting the brand's emphasis on "Genuine Horse Hide" leather construction. Typography promotes Goodyear welt craftsmanship and "Viscolized Leather Soles," a hallmark of durable early 20th-century work footwear, with the slogan "Double Wear Work Shoes $3 - Pay No More."
The Shoe Corporation of America (SCOA) was a major American shoe retailer and manufacturer founded by Robert W. Schiff in 1920. By 1940, it was the third-largest shoe chain in the United States, and diversified into general retail and went through several ownership changes and bankruptcies in the late 20th century.
