1892
Albert Weinbrenner (age 27), starts a business with partner Joseph Pfeifer repairing and selling boots and shoes out
of a storefront at 140 West Water Street in Milwaukee. - they called their new cobblery Weinbrenner and Pfeifer.
Their specialty - boots and shoes for the jobbing trades - to use modern terms, they specialized
in work boots.
Albert's first job-fitted boots were designed for the growing new trade of telephone line installation that
required workers to shimmy up something called a telephone pole - in response, Albert designed and manufactured
the first 16 lineman boots. The new boot style allowed linemen to wrap their legs around the pole to steady
their position while working. Now known as style 804-4254, this innovative jobber boot is still in production.
