Shoe Store Sections

Set Apart By Decor

Dietzel’s Shoe Store is now doing business in a newly-remodeled store and at a new location—309 S. Main St.

Men’s women’s and children’s shoe departments are distinguished by different color decor and matching appointments. A new store front has been added, along with a rear entry marquee adjacent to the Fourth Ave.-E. William St. parking lot.

Besides 17 brands of shoes being sold, the firm has added a department for the sale of hose and purses.

A St. Louis, Mo., shoe company designed the store’s interior, which was modified by H. D. Libolt, Ann Arbor builder.

The 138x20-foot store, which was enlarged at the rear, contains 2,000 square feet and has sales-floor storage space for 14,000 pairs of shoes.

The women’s section is marked by yellow walls, while the men’s department is defined by apple green amberwood and the children’s by pink biege.

The store is owned by Fred C. Smith and his wife, Gertrude.

This recent move is the fourth for the Dietzel store. It was at three E. Washington St. locations during a 49-year period, the latest at 109 E. Washington St. The store was owned by the late Jacob H. Dietzel, who operated it for 45 years until his death in 1954.

A grand opening will be held at the new Dietzel store March 6, 7 and 8.
