So where did the huge shoes come from? The were the property of the man who was at the time the worlds tallest man, Robert Wadlow from Alton, IL. Wadlow lived from 1918 to 1940. The shoes are in a glass display case in the store. In the early 1900s a general merchandise store called Prosperity Corner and owned by H.H. Tieman stood on this corner. Tieman lived from 1848 to 1921. A
plaque on the wall tells us that " ... Prosperity Corner drew citizens
to meet, do business, and pass the time of day. H.H. Tieman's General
Merchandise Store was the hub of this activity ... " Photo(s): 2012
