Got Socks?

(History)


Need a pair of unused but slightly musty 40-year-old dress socks? They were made sometime in the 1960s for G.C. Murphy Co., which sold its house-brand men's clothing under the name "Pelham."

Feedback on “Got Socks?”

Any chance the main headquarters building downtown McKeesport might have anything to preserve?

What a neat “silver lining” to an otherwise crappy story!

I’m so glad there are other people out there who want to preserve these things (says the woman who tried to buy the signage from her local Newberry’s after it closed).
