Thank you to Temple Shalom and Elliott Epstein for the photo

Note:
Arthur Shapiro of Shapiro Bros., who was originally from Haverhill, Massachusetts, acquired C.V. Watson Company of Auburn. Other Jewish-owned footwear manufacturers included Koss Shoe and Clark Shoe. These businesses began closing or moving away in the 1980s due to offshoring of the industry. (photos from Temple Shalom collection)
