Converse Shoes 1908–1940: Early years. (Wikipedia)
\"Marquis Mills Converse, a manager at a footwear manufacturing firm, opened theConverse Rubber Shoe Company in February 1908, in Malden, Massachusetts.The company was a rubber shoe manufacturer, and its early inventory included winterized rubber-soled footwear,galoshes, tennis shoes, and some non-footwear items like automobile tires. In summer of 1916, theConverse basketball line was established; by 1917 the Converse All-Star basketball shoe was introduced andquickly became successful during World War I and the Spanish flu.
In 1922, basketball player Charles H. \"Chuck\" Taylor walked into Converse complaining of sore feet, andConverse gave him a job as a salesman and ambassador. He promoted the shoes around the U.S.,and in 1932 Taylor\'s signature was added to the All-Star patch on the high-topped sneakers.He continued this work until shortly before his death in 1969.\"
