The Frye Company is an American boot manufacturer that, by its own accounts, is the oldest continuously operated shoe company in the United States. ==History== In 1863, John A. Frye opened the doors to the very first Frye shop on Elm Street in Marlboro, Massachusetts, paving the way for countless generations of Frye artisans dedicated entirely to the art of craftsmanship. In the 1890s, Marlboro manufactured more shoes than any other city in the U.S. During that time, Frye was one of the largest and most successful footwear companies in the entire country. During the 1960s Frye made custom boots for a number of well-known people including Jackie Kennedy, Bing Crosby, Jerry Lewis, Barbra Streisand, Bette Midler, Ann-Margret, Walt Frazier, Laurel & Hardy, Candice Bergen, Liza Minnelli, Carole King, Gene Autry, even President Nixon. The Sixties also saw the birth of the Frye Harness Boot. Inspired by cavalry soldiers in the Civil War, The Harness is a modern icon. Still going strong, it is seen everywhere today from city streets to roadside bars, as well as fashion editorials. There are a lot of ways to make history. Some make it with a compelling personal story; others through service; still others by being at the heart of the action at a special moment in time. John A. Frye, the company his family built, and the timeless product they gave America and the world managed to accomplish all three. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Frye Company」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
