Munro & Company, Inc., was established in
1972 as the successor to New Hampshire-based Connors &
Hoffmann Footwear Company's southern division,
consisting of three shoe manufacturing plants, all in
Arkansas. As manager of the southern division, Don Munro
had set up Lake Catherine Footwear in Hot Springs in
1960. In 1967 he added Addison Shoe Company in Wynne,
and in 1967 built Mount Ida Footwear in Mount Ida. These
three plants formed the nucleus of Munro & Company. They
produced men's and women's leather shoes and boots for
the major national retailers. |
