Hanan Gingell American Shoe Store

Bit of a strange one this. I bought it on eBay for the princely sum of 99 pence.



It's a full page advert for a shoe shop called "Hanan Gingell" from a magazine called "The Ladies Field" published in June 1911 for the coronation of King George V.

Their address was 328 to 332 Oxford Street, which today is the address of "The Link" part of the electronics retail giant Dixons.

I've never heard of the "Hanan Gingell" shop before, so please get in touch if you know anything about it.
