SHOE, SADDLE, AND CHAPS REPAIR! SHOE SHINE! ORTHOTIC SHOES! The rich history of Bismarck, ND's Gartner's Capital Shoe Hospital is lovingly shared in this 1950s FUN CHAT by the father/son team, Mark and Jake Gartner. Have you been their customer?


With shoe-saving necessity, parents of North Dakota's The Pfeiffer Sisters frequented their business throughout their many years of marriage. This five-generation business has repaired the soles of shoes before a $1 shoe-shine tip from a ND legislator or businessman became the norm in the 1950s.


Learn of the deep family bond as well as the wise, savvy business acumen that have prospered this business for decades.
