EARLY Converse Shoe History... before the Converse "Chuck Taylor" High-Top Basketball Shoe glory days!

"Get them at Dudley's" - shoe store dealer agent imprint / University Athlete on College Campus in Galoshes.

Converse Shoes 1908–1940: Early years. (Wikipedia)
"Marquis Mills Converse, a manager at a footwear manufacturing firm, opened the

Converse 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, the

Converse basketball line was established; by 1917 the Converse All-Star basketball shoe was introduced and

quickly 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, and

Converse 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."
