A forum on classic men’s shoes said:

The early, union-made Arch Preservers are excellent shoes. As is so often true, the older the shoe, the higher the quality. They are not easy to date with precision, but if you can find a pair with a sewn-in cloth label you will have made a score. They are generally on a par with vintage Florsheims from the same period.

As for Morrison, I don’t think there’s a downtown shoe store anymore. But we’ll know for sure the day it hits the Main Street feature on the Bleat.

Actually, I think we can answer that question already.
