Description
Pictured under neon lighting, on the evening of June 1, 1937, is Zinke’s Shoe Renewing Corporation at 1106 K Street. The Sacramento location, which opened in 1937, was part of a constellation of stores that ran from San Diego to northern California. The chain was started in 1912 by G.W. Zinke, the son of a Nebraska pioneer and shoemaker. After establishing a strong business presence in San Diego County, the company’s interests started to expand and, in spite of Zinke’s death in 1918, his widow, Ethel, carried the company forward. The manager of the Sacramento store at the time of this photograph was Louie Pauls. Zinke’s had a presence on K Street well into the 1980s.
