First baby shoes worn by Marianne Gigeay, daughter of Charlie and Dorothy Hodgkins Gigeay, born 1949.
Note from website: Baby shoes designed and made at Mrs. Day’s Ideal Baby Shoe Company, Danvers, Massachusetts. Mrs. Adra Day began making baby shoes from leather scraps in the early 1900s. By the 1920s Mrs. Day’s Ideal Baby Shoes were sold all over the United States. Her business grew from a ten-footer shoe shop with a small group of women making the shoes to a huge factory built by the 1940s.
