Title	Leed’s Shoes Sign
Date	1936
Creator	Frederick-Burkett Foto Service
Description	Pictured on March 20, 1936, are the bustling locations of Leed’s Shoes and Lewis’s Women’s Apparel at 814 and 812 K Street, respectively. Leed’s had been at the pictured location since the fall of 1934, helping up to 100 of Sacramento’s shoe-seeking denizens at any given time. Founded by Edward Lewis, Lewis’s most notable manager was Edward’s daughter, Genevieve, who operated the store from 1935 to 1960. A graduate of the University of Chicago, she was Sacramento’s “Woman Golfer of the Year” for 1949, a member of the city/county Chamber of Commerce, and a member of the Business Women’s Golf Club. She died in 1960. By 1945, Lewis’s had changed its location to the corner of Ninth and J Streets, where it had two entrances: 906 J Street and 1011 Ninth Street.
